Well, you know, "...Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, and not by its maker. In which case you also were meant to have it.". The Valar needed the Ring to be inherited by Frodo somehow (or Otho would have gotten it), so they needed Bilbo to adopt him... you see where I'm going with this. They did die under mysterious circumstances. Did Ulmo off Drogo and Primula!?
