LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Los Angeles County Coroner Tuesday classified journalist Michael Hastings’ death as accidental.

Hastings, 33, died in the early morning hours of June 20 when his Mercedes crashed into a tree at a high rate of speed in Hancock Park.

The coroner listed traumatic injuries sustained in the accident as his cause of death.

Toxicology tests also discovered that a “small amount of Methamphetamine and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) was detected. Levels indicate prior, but not recent usage,” the report stated.

Hastings, a contributing editor at Rolling Stone, won a George Polk Award for magazine reporting for his cover article “The Runaway General” in 2010.

At the time of his death, the award-winning writer believed he was being investigated by the FBI.

Nothing about WHY his vehicle was speeding out of control?

Accident. The NSA accidently hacked into his car and accidently floored the accelerator remotely and accidently disabled the brakes and accidently released the seat belts and accidently locked the doors.

All accidently. Y'see.

Another junkie, just like his cellmate Matt Taibbi.....

Calcs from the security camera that showed him speeding by then the explosions are that he was driving about 35 mph.

I guess Coroner technicians won’t be dropping dead from arsenic poisoning this time (as LA County Coroner tech Michael Cormier did, the day his office released the Breitbart autopsy report to the public).

Just plausible enough, and damning enough, to nudge us "move along, move along, nothing to see here."

It really is like something out of a Philip K. Dick novel.

Yup, folks, he was just standing there, and his dashboard just up and slammed him up side the head. Yeah Sir.

The coroner wants to keep his job and continue breathing.

[LyinLibs]

Did they test his blood before or after they suddenly cremated his body?

[LyinLibs]

KEY QUESTION: Where the hell was he driving FROM/TO at 4:30AM in Los Angeles?


Here's the map/theory I put together.

Last one (Brietbart's) didn't do so well.

Damn, I hate living in the new Soviet Amerika.

Now if only the Breitbart conspiracist crazies can be convinced that he truly did die of a heart attack rather than ..........whatever..........LOL!

Maybe the same reason why our nation is riddled with late night auto accidents caused by out of control drivers thinking they're Indy drivers?......Nah, no way.

So then it must have been a hologram car with pre-damaged front end, soaked with flammable chemicals, and with a catapult installed under the engine block. The G-Men hacked into the car to make it go slower.

You know, they had to set an example: publish a story we don't like and several years later we might kill you in the most needlessly complex way ever conceived.

Our production studio is close by to the accident and driven on that road early before dawn. You could speed up Highland as there’s almost no one driving there during these times. The Highland road is mostly used to drive faster on route to LAX, even the shuttle buses take it.
