Things like that have been known to happen, especially when an individual suffering paranoia from the effects of meth is behind the wheel of a vehicle traveling around 100 mph, loses control and ends up in a crash.

Coroner, family link Michael Hastings to drug use at time of death
I thought it sounded suspicious at the first report and still think it does. There are a lot of conflicting reports, stories and rumors. The internet is both a boon and a bane, as far as the truth is concerned. Casting this man in a negative light after his death serves a purpose, to discredit both the man himself and anyone who questions the truth of the matter.
Paranoid? Sounds as if he had good reason to be, regardless of whatever was found at autopsy. Sometimes, “they” really are out to get you. He was reportedly working on an exposé of Brennan. He’d built a career on similar, successful efforts. Powerful person, powerful organization, with the means to accomplish what has been so widely and sometimes wildly speculated.
