I hope it was instant


It would have been a horrible slow death otherwise, with two thousand pounds of glass and metal sitting on him.

As someone who has seen something just like this. It's not instant at all, and a very painful way to go.

You watched someone slowly die by being pinned with a vehicle?

I have not seen it, but I do know about it. A good friend of mine had this happen with a much larger vehicle than the one he had.

He was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee which weighs considerably more.

It more than likely was since the accident photographs don't show any blood around the spot where he was hit. I'm sure it was so sudden that it just crushed his internal organs and that was that. Plus, he was a relatively thin and scrawny guy, not some macho weightlifting bodybuilder.

So sad but I doubt it...he was alone with no one to hear him scream : (

I keep asking, why wasn't a personal assistant doing his tasks? It sounds like he had a celebrity rental, wasn't familiar with the car controls, tried parking it on a slight incline not realizing it could drift. He turned his back to get mail or do whatever task and didn't see the car coming so he couldn't get out of the way. : (

Wait for the lawsuits...

A major studio has lost an artist. I know there are policies which cover celebs who get hurt, etc so there has to be one covering this...

Wait for the law suit against the car manufacturer. What was the model of the car? Have there been other people killed and they were less famous so now this brings attention to the situation? I suspect his family will sue the manufacturer and say defects were known but the company did nothing...
