The other parallel between them is that they both died fighting for the cause of liberty. However as far as I'm aware Byron was not shot with his supporters by Turkish soldiers moments after he had gunned down Percy Bysshe Shelley under the misaprehension that he had betrayed them to the Turks.
Byron certainly did see Shelley's body burned (albeit not on Jevron) and I suppose it's not beyond the realm of possibility that he bumped off Shelley--drowning represents a difficult forensic picture.
