We cannot know for sure. One commenter over on the article site brings up the point of a heart attack while driving. Would (just like in any other vehicle, granted) cause a loss of control and might explain a great deal. But again - we cannot know and shouldn't judge without more details, imo.



You're right of course, that's a possibility. I don't mean to be passing absolute judgment on the matter. Just saying there's got to be something more than "I accidentally drove off a cliff, sry", as the article seems to imply. I don't really understand why I'm losing karma at such a clip for it. :(


I don't see why there does have to be more to it. People make mistakes while driving vehicles all the time. How many of the recent Toyota crashes were caused by people stepping on the gas when they meant to step on the brake?

I realize that showing respect for the death is usually a custom, but wouldn't it be better to show respect for the living?
