How Did Ryan Dunn Die? The Jackass Star’s Tragic Death Case

The Chester County coroner’s report confirmed that Ryan Dunn and his passenger died from blunt force trauma and thermal trauma caused by the violent car crash and subsequent fire.

Toxicology results, which will determine if substances played a role, are expected to take four to six weeks.

Ryan Dunn, known for his daring and often crude stunts on the “Jackass” franchise, and his passenger Zachary Hartwell tragically died in a car crash early Monday after leaving Barnaby’s pub in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

He had shared a photo of himself and Hartwell drinking earlier that night, but it has since been removed.

Despite Dunn’s drinking at the bar, Barnaby’s manager, Jim O’Brien, reported that Dunn did not seem intoxicated.

Preliminary findings indicate that Ryan Dunn’s Porsche was likely traveling over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone when it lost control, crashed through a guardrail, plunged into a wooded ravine, and caught fire.

Zachary Hartwell, who was 30 and served as a production assistant on the second “Jackass” movie, also perished in the crash. Dunn’s brother, Eric Dunn, expressed the family’s devastation in a statement to the AP.

“We appreciate the support of Ryan’s fans during this time, and we are grateful for your thoughts and prayers,” he said.

“Ryan will be greatly missed, but he will forever remain in our hearts.”

Following the crash, mourners gathered at the scene with flowers and photos, and tributes poured in on social media from fans and celebrities, including Benji Madden, Brody Jenner, and Dunn’s “Jackass” co-stars Bam Margera, Steve-O, and Wee Man.

However, Roger Ebert faced backlash after tweeting a comment about Dunn’s drinking and driving, which led to derogatory posts on his Facebook page.

Ebert later apologized, stating that he did not intend to be cruel and acknowledged he might have reacted too hastily.
