Paragon Chests and Instance corpses

Anyone know if the chest just goes to the dealer of the highest damage, or
are there several, depending on the number of attackers?
This new innovation must presumably screw the script-looters, so must be a
Good Thing...

Distribution of the chest is controlled by the wonderful RNG, so it could
show up on anybody's inst. corpse. Still only a chance of one chest total
per paragon though.

What kind of event took place last night? You need to keep us
advised on what's going on. How about a blow by blow for those
of us that cant sit around a shield at Lord British castle.

That was not sarcasm at you, but at the dumb way EA has
chosen to advise people of what's going on.
