Coroner: Ryan Dunn Died Violent Death

[Dirtbag59]

"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn and his passenger each died as result of both blunt force trauma AND the fire that consumed Dunn's Porsche during the crash Monday morning ... this according to the Chester County Coroner.

The Coroner's Office just released the autopsy results for both men -- who, we're told, were each dead by the time officials arrived at the scene.

Based on the autopsy results, the crash was so violent, it seems it was impossible to determine if the two died from the impact of the crash itself or from the fire that resulted.

Officials say the toxicology results for both men -- which would help determine the role alcohol played in the crash -- will be released in 4 to 6 weeks.

TMZ previously reported, officials believe Dunn's car veered off the highway and crashed in a wooded area Monday morning ... before exploding in flames. Investigators believe speed may have been a factor in the crash.

Any confirmation yet if alcohol was involved? I read that he tweeted a pic earlier in the evening of him drinking and knowing how those guys roll that would make sense.

Thats basically all there is right now. In the comment section of the story people are talking about what the bartender and other people saw and how he shouldn't have been driving but it's all hear say. Basically have to wait 4-6 weeks for the full report.

I also saw one of the pictures to, wouldn't surprise me but I'll wait for confirmation.

I hope they weren't driving really fast or drinking and driving...cause if they were their deaths wouldn't be much of a tragedy and we can celebrate that no one but them died.

It's also being reported that the passenger was a Navy Seal who did three tours in Iraq.

Roger Ebert, Ryan Dunn and the subtle art of shutting up - ComPost - The Washington Post

It does not matter that you were right. When you see a hearse drive past, you do not whip out a megaphone and bellow, “This was your own dang fault,” even if it was.

“But it’s what everyone was thinking!” “But it’s true that drunk driving is wrong.” True, true — but there’s a distinction between thinking and saying. Thinking is something no one does anymore, and we’re still saying things all the time.

I think pretty much everyone here learned from the Sean Taylor tragedy to keep you mouth shut until all the facts are released. Is it possible it was a drunk driving accident? Sure, but until we know for sure it's best to give people time to mourn the loss of their friend. This is a concept that Ebert doesn't understand.

It may have been a tad insensitive on Ebert's part, but everyone is thinking the same thing. Hard to feel bad for a guy who knowingly gets behind the wheel loaded and drives so recklessly. I'm sure this wasn't the first time he did this either.

I agree totally.


Also, what if he had hit another vehicle instead of a tree? Would we all be saying the same thing? Doubt it. Kid was a idiot that lived his life like one and ultimately died like one. I feel for his family and friends though. RIP.

He was drunk and driving 110 MPH from reports. I've been on that road before (Rt 322). I live a little over an hour from where he killed himself and his passenger. Thank God his jackassery didn't kill anyone else.

Kinda ironic he went out driving like a Jack...if this is true.



Don't get me wrong, I have sympathy for the families and maybe his passenger if innocent, but I have little tolerance for drunks on the road.

Either way, whether he was sober or drunk, that's not a road to be driving 110. No road is really, but this is a semi-busy 2-lane highway going from Amish Lancaster to near Philly.

There is only one word to describe this. "Jackass".

I'm sorry the other person in the car also had a choice of not getting in the car so he was also a jackass and could have stopped the other jackass from driving.

I guess I need sensitivity training.

Nah, you're doing fine. I agree with you.

Too many men have had that "sensitivity training" in today's society.

Okay, so I guess now we know. Interesting though seeing as how the stories kept saying 4 to 5 weeks for the results to be released.

Fawk Ryan Dunn and his drunk ass. He is lucky he only killed himself and the other guy.
