I think Brooks died in a single car accident, didn’t he?
At the age of 66, Brooks died in a single car accident on the afternoon of August 11, 2003, near Forest Lake, Minnesota, on Interstate 35.[9] It is believed that he fell asleep behind the wheel before the accident after driving all night, and neither drugs nor alcohol was responsible.
