Pictured: Ryan Dunn crash site vandalised with hateful graffiti slur

By Daily Mail Reporter


Vandalized: The site where Jackass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident last week was sprayed with graffiti over night


The fatal crash site where Jack ass star Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident last week has been vandalised.

The road-side area in West Goshen, Pennsylvania, where the fatal accident took place had become a shrine to the reality prankster but was last night spray painted with the words 'Ritch Pr*ck' (sic).

It is unknown who was responsible for the vandalism however police were aware of the situation.

Ryan, 34, who has starred in all five of the Jackass films as well as the MTV television series, was killed in the early hours of June 20 when his his sports car flew off the road around 2.30am while he was driving to his home following a night out in a bar with friends.

Police said they found the burning wreckage of his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3, which was capable of reaching 190mph, in the woods off the road fully engulfed in flames.

His body was so badly burnt that he had to be identified by his tattoos, NBC Philadelphia reported.

Dunn was the registered owner of the $100,00 vehicle and was driving at the time, according to police.

Ryan's passenger and friend, 30-year-old Zachary Hartwell, was also killed instantly.

Hateful slur: The words 'Ritch Pr*ck' were written in black spray paint on the guard rail

A shrine: Fans had left flowers and messages of condolence next to the side of the road


Ryan Dunn's Jackass co-star Bam Margera broke down into floods of tears as he visited the spot where his best friend lost his life in a horror 130mph car smash.

An inconsolable Bam spoke to a local news station and was so distraught he could barely put his loss into words.

'It was the worst phone call I ever got in my life waking up to that,' the 31-year-old wept.

Margera, who was in Arizona at the time of the crash, visited the crash scene in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.

He was visibly overcome with emotion, rocking back and forth in agony at the guardrail that the car crashed through.

'I've never lost anybody that I cared about. It's my best friend,' he told local TV station WTXF, weeping.

'He was the happiest person ever, the smartest guy. He had so much talent, and he had so many things going for him. This is not right, not right.'

Margera stood at the guardrail that Dunn pierced with his Porsche Monday morning with such force that the car slammed through about 40 feet of trees before exploding into flames.

When asked how he'd get through this ordeal, Bam replied: 'I can't. I can't.'

Up in flames: Ryan Dunn's car was unrecognisable after turning into a fire ball on impact

'Dying was the best thing to ever happen to me': Jackass star Ryan Dunn's haunting words in last unseen film role

By Daily Mail Reporter


Last role: Ryan Dunn played a character called Belch in the movie Living Will


Film studio Lionsgate are considering the future of an unreleased film starring Jackass' Ryan Dunn.

The 34-year-old reality star, who was killed in a high speed car accident on Monday, played a ghost called Belch who returns to haunt his best friend in the low budget comedy.

Before his fatal crash, Lionsgate had been planning a October release but now it may be delayed, according to The Wrap.

The film's trailer, which opens with the quote, 'Call no man happy till he is dead,' shows a jovial Ryan sporting a full beard and playing practical jokes on his unsuspecting friends.


'Being dead is the best thing that ever happened to me. Ever,' says Ryan's character during the eerie three minute clip.

Ryan, starred in the movie alongside his real life best friend Bam Margera, who was inconsolable earlier this week following Ryan's death in a tragic car accident in Pennsylvania.

The Jackass and Viva La Bam star had been drinking at a bar with friends in the hours before the Monday morning crash, which also killed his passenger, Zachary Hartwell.

He is said to have drank three beers and taken shots before getting behind the wheel shortly after 2am.

The haunting: Belch is a ghost who returns to spook his friends and play practical jokes on them


Boo: Belch basically played practical jokes on his friends throughout the low budget flick

Police say Dunn was travelling at around 132mph and 140mph in a 55mph zone when his Porsche 911 flew off the road in West Goshen and burst into flames.

It is not known if the pair died from the crash impact or were unable to escape the vehicle as it exploded in a fireball.

West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll, who was involved in the accident reconstruction, described it as the worst crash he had ever seen.

It has emerged that Dunn had notched up 23 driving convictions, including ten for speeding, before his accident, it was revealed yesterday.

Distraught: A forlorn-looking Johnny Knoxville attends the memorial service for his tragic Jackass co-star Ryan Dunn in West Chester, Philadelphia. Dunn was killed in a high-speed car smash on Monday aged 34


A private memorial service was held today for Jackass star Ryan Dunn, who was killed in a high-speed car crash in the early hours of Monday morning.

Jackass frontman Johnny Knoxville led the mourners as a private ceremony was held at a funeral home in West Chester in Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon.

Dunn's best friend and fellow Jackass star Bam Margera was in attendance with his wife Melissa Rothstein and parents April and Phil, who were also close to Dunn.


The memorial took place on a painful day for the 34-year-old stuntman's loved ones after toxicology reports confirmed that he was more than twice over the drink-drive limit when he crashed, killing himself and passenger Zachary Hartwell.

The memorial was held at the DellaVecchia, Reilly, Smith and Boyd funeral home and comes ahead of a full funeral, which is set to be held later this week.

Meanwhile a controversial church from Kansas has released a statement, saying it plans to picket Dunn's funeral.

Remembrance: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars Glenn Howerton, left, and Rob McElhenney


In a statement which will no doubt cause fresh anguish, Westboro Baptist Church proclaimed: 'Ryan Dunn is in hell,' adding: 'WBC will picket any public memorial/funeral held for Dunn, warning all not to make a mock of sin, & to fear & obey God.'

Westboro was started by the Reverend Fred Phelps in 1955. The website for the group outlines plans to send parishioners to Philadelphia to protest at the funeral in Philadelphia.

Funeral director Joseph DellaVecchia told CNN today that he didn't expect any disturbances at the memorial- but admitted he had heard of Westboro's plans.

He told CNN: 'We can’t stop someone from coming to a public funeral, but this is private, and the police have everything under control.'

Support: Bam's parents April and Phil Margera, who were very close to Dunn, arrive hand in hand

Time to reflect: DellaVecchia, Reilly, Smith and Boyd funeral home in West Chester, Philadelphia, where the memorial was held


Police revealed yesterday that Dunn's blood alcohol level was 0.196, more than twice the legal limit in Pennsylvania, which is 0.08, at the time of the crash.

West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll added that the toxicology report from the Chester County Coroner's Office indicated there were 'no drugs of abuse detected'.

Dunn, 34, had been in a bar with friends in the hours before the crash. He is said to have drunk three beers and taken shots before getting behind the wheel shortly after 2am on Monday morning.

Police said he was driving at around 132mph and 140mph in a 55mph zone when his Porsche 911 flew off the road and burst into flames.

It is not known if Dunn and his passenger died from the impact or were unable to escape the vehicle as it exploded into a fireball.

Mr Carroll, who was involved in the accident reconstruction, described it as the worst crash he had ever seen.

Over the limit: Ryan Dunn, seen here in a Twitter picture hours before the crash, was twice the legal limit at the time of the crash


It has emerged that Dunn had notched up 23 driving convictions, including ten for speeding, before his accident. Dunn had also been arrested for drink driving.

His driving record was revealed as friends from the Jackass films mourned his death and visited the crash site in Pennsylvania.

On Tuesday, childhood friend Bam Margera was in tears as he stood by the roadside where Dunn and Mr Hartwell died.

Ghoulish: New footages shows 'treasure hunters' at the scene pilfering bits of the car wreckage

Cashing in: Some people told reporters they were planning to sell the mementos on eBay


Court records showed that Dunn had received at least 23 driving citations in the last 13 years.

Ten were for speeding and careless driving and three others were for driving on a suspended licence.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer 90 per cent of the citations ended in guilty pleas.

Meanwhile it has emerged that 'treasure hunters' are pilfering debris from the car that Dunn crashed.

Heartbroken: Bam Margera returns to the spot where his best friend and Jackass co-star lost his life in a horrific car smash in the early hours of Monday morning in Philadelphia

Devastation: Dunn's car span off the road, through a guardrail and into the woods


A video report by Philadelphia Fox News captured footage of people collecting ghoulish mementos along the stretch of road where the accident happened.

Reporter Chris O'Donnell said that some had told him they were planning to sell the parts on eBay.

'You should have seen these people pilfering away,' an outraged O'Donnell reported back to the studio, while reporting from the scene.

O'Donnell added that police had told him taking parts of wreckage from an investigation scene is illegal.

Where the night started: Dunn and Hartwell were both at Barnaby's in West Chester hours before the accident
