Presumably he has a mother, family, friends and co-workers who are sad. It’s very rare I could get ‘excited’ or ‘glad’ over someone’s death. This is not one of those times. > [@](#): > > A police report indicated that Dunn was most likely speeding in his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3, which was destroyed in the wreck. “Upon arrival, police located one vehicle in the road and in the woods that was fully engulfed in flames,” the report said. “DUI” was not indicated in the report. ---

FOAF was dating him eight to ten years ago or so. The friend in question was a bit prudish and cool, but mildly uptight (_I_ know that makes no sense, but there you go). Evidently, she (the mother) liked him, so there’s threadbare evidence that in real life he was a nice guy. Never took to his humor, so don’t know if the world is better off without him. From the commercials, I assume the overall crassness level went down a small notch, but I’d pine if anything happened to Trey or Matt. ---

I’m not. He was so cute and entertaining, and seemed like a friendly guy who enjoyed life. Much more than can be said for anything I’ve ever seen from the OP. ---

According to TMZ (yes, I’m ashamed) 1. It was not Bam. The passenger hasn’t been identified but Bam’s parents were interviewed talking about their son’s friend and didn’t mention it. 2. Dunn had had 3 beers and 3 shots before diving 3. The photo of the crashed car are insane - even allowing for the fire, a car travelling at normal speeds doesn’t end up looking like it lost a fight with Blendtec.

[Ryan Dunn's Porsche -- Car Built for Speed](http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/20/ryan-dunn-dead-dies-jackass-porsche-crash-photos-pennsylvania/) Not someone from Jackass doing something stupid and dangerous!

Yeah. But I mentioned it in response to Joey’s suggestion that perhaps Dunn had moderately nursed a single beer all night and then carefully drove home at a prudent pace. The car is in shreds. It looks like something a dragon threw up. This is not the result of a run of the mill car crash. ---

“Glad?” WTF? Regaling in the death of others is bad, bad karma. Deductive reasoning may well lead you to believe that Dunn was drunk off his ass and was driving dangerously. That may well be true, and I imagine we’ll know soon. But really, OP, you couldn’t wait until you got the facts? Dick move. ---

As someone on Facebook observed, he died as he lived: with [car parts up his anus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackass:_The_Movie). ---
