This guy was lionized by local talk radio but it turns out he died because he (1) was driving drunk; (2) driving too fast; and 3) driving without the seatbelt fastened.

Preliminary toxicology results indicate Dever had a level of blood-alcohol level "associated with impairment" when his 2008 Chevrolet truck rolled on a gravel U.S. Forest Service road on Sept. 18, the Coconino County Sheriff's Office said.
The truck's black box shows Dever was traveling at 62 mph before his truck rolled over and that his seat belt was unbuckled, the report said. Forest Service roads don't have posted speed limits, but motorists are expected to drive at a prudent speed.
