“Jackass” movie co-star Ryan Dunn’s crash in a 2007 Porsche killed him and another unidentified passenger early morning on Monday. The mother of Bam Margera, one of Dunn’s “Jackass” co-stars, confirmed the news, reports The Star-Ledger.
Margera’s mother said that there may have been a third person in the car, reports The Star-Ledger. And, at this point it is still unclear as to who was driving the vehicle when it crashed.
Dunn’s crashed Porsche was found in a wooded area in outer Philadelphia, according to Reuters. The car had burst into flames.
Dunn, 34, had co-starred in “Jackass,” a movie that essentially features risk and other daredevil stunts and pranks. The movie has grossed $330 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
There is no official cause for the accident yet. A preliminary investigation by the police only revealed that speed may have contributed to the accident, reports Reuters.
Right before the crash, Dunn had posted a photo of himself drinking with two other men onto his Twitter account, reports Reuters.
Dunn’s death followed a long career of taking risks. Some of his “Jackass” stunts included getting launched out of a loading dock on a grocery cart at 70 miles per hour. Dunn also infamously inserted a toy car up his rectum to get a doctor to take an x-ray, reports The Star-Ledger.
