"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn dies

Jackass movie star Ryan Dunn died in a car crash in Pennsylvania early Monday morning. He was 34. Hours before the crash, Dunn posted a photo to Twitter, by way of his Tumblr blog, that depicted him drinking with friends.
The police have confirmed that Ryan Dunn was legally drunk — twice the legal limit — when he wrecked his car going 130mph, killing himself and Zach Hartwell, less than 100 yards from Hartwell's home. News of the incident has caused Dunn’s name to become a trending topic on Twitter, as fans and celebrity friends tweet in remembrance of the star. Several Twitterers are also using the crash to tweet about the dangers of drunken driving — linking the Tumblr photo to the fatal accident — although the exact circumstances of what led to the crash are still unknown.
Flickr user Eric Lewis posted the image below with a caption that says the photo shows what’s left of Dunn’s car.

Dunn’s cryptic last photo is not the first of its kind. Last year, celebrity plastic surgeon Frank Ryan died in a car accident; his final tweet was a photo of himself and his dog. It was later discovered that Ryan was tweeting while driving.
