Ryan Dunn (Jackass) Died In Car Accident

Synack · 06-23-2011, 03:19 PM

Noone knows and we more than likely won't ever know if he was drunk at the time. It would be safe to say he had at least a couple beers but that doesn't affect someone like him who has a stupid high tolerance. TBH if he was doing 130 in his GT3 then he should've been in the left lane where semi's typically stay away from. In this case it looks like he was in the right lane and the truck was getting into the right lane and he slammed on the brakes and tried to get on the on-ramp to avoid it but missed horribly. This is just what I took from skid marks.

Even if sober, doing 130mph late at night in a 55mph zone, not the smartest thing to do.

His blood alcohol was 0.196. Of course he was drunk. He was going between 134 and 140 mph. And he has a prior conviction for DUI.

Ryan Dunn apologists can make all the rationalizations they want, and try to second-guess professional accident reconstructionists based on a couple of internet photographs, but it won't wash.

Negligence, stupidity, arrogance. Motor vehicle homicide.

Not that I'm backing up the situation or anything, but do you have a source for his blood alcohol level? How the hell could/did they get a BAC from a guy that was only recognizable buy his tattoos....?

Just a guess since I haven't read any sources, or heard about the BAC but it requires a very minuscule amount of blood to get an accurate BAC. My guess is that there was plenty available at the scene of the accident.

It's widely reported in the news. You'll have no trouble finding it. In fact, if you google "0.196", or "blood alcohol 0.196", you'll see that Ryan Dunn's name comes up. Sterling legacy he leaves, there.

As to blood...there was plenty of it in his body, but usually post-mortem tox screens are done from aspiration of vitreous fluid from the eye (speaking as ex-Assistant Coroner and Death Investigator for this county). I've done that several times in accidents or other deaths as traumatic as this one.

.0196 is damn near 10 beers equivalent. Wow.

For a 240 lb male drinking over 4 hours, it's closer to 15 beers (or 16 shots of whiskey).

I know this is off topic, but that is insanely cool. I learned something new today
