Regarding the comment by Buddhas_disciple above and specifically the following comment:
“What may have Actually Happened?
- The Arahant’s past kamma had ripened, leading to death in that manner.
- The cow was just a medium, not the root cause of the Arahant’s death.
- Since animals lack the ability to consciously create good or bad moral kamma, they cannot commit anantariya kamma.”
Yes. That could be valid.
Please see the following thread by Jittananto: “Bāhiya, Pukkusāti, Tambadathika – All Killed by the Same Cow“
- Since a cow could not have planned and killed all three of them, it is likely that the “cow was just a medium.”
