FROM WIKIPEDIA
On June 18, 2013,(Michael) Hastings died in a single vehicle automobile crash in his Mercedes C250 Coupé at approximately 4:25 a.m. in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.[54] A witness to the crash said the car seemed to be traveling at maximum speed and was creating sparks and flames before it fishtailed and crashed into a palm tree.[55][56] Video from a nearby security camera purportedly shows Hastings’ vehicle speeding and bursting into flames.[57]
Witnesses described the car’s engine being ejected 50 to 60 yards (46–55 m) from the scene.[56][58] Hastings’ body was burned beyond recognition. The coroner identified the body by matching fingerprints with those the FBI had on file.[59][60] Two days after the crash, the Los Angeles Police Department declared that there were no signs of foul play.[61] The coroner’s report ruled the death to be an accident.[62] An autopsy showed that the cause of death was massive blunt force trauma consistent with a high-speed crash.[62]
Hastings was eulogized in the media by figures such as Christopher Hayes,[63] Rachel Maddow,[64] his co-workers at BuzzFeed,[65] and others.[66]
The film Imminent Threat, directed by Janek Ambros, is dedicated to his work.

Alleged foul play controversy Edit
Soon after his death, some[who?] described the circumstances surrounding the crash as suspicious.[67][disputed ]
Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard A. Clarke said that what is known about the crash is “consistent with a car cyber attack”. He was quoted as saying “There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers — including the United States — know how to remotely seize control of a car. So if there were a cyber attack on [Hastings’] car — and I’m not saying there was, I think whoever did it would probably get away with it.”[68] Earlier the previous day, Hastings indicated that he believed he was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In an email to colleagues, which was copied to and released by Hastings’ friend, Army Staff Sergeant Joe Biggs,[69] Hastings said that he was “onto a big story”, that he needed to “go off the radar”, and that the FBI might interview them.[70][71] WikiLeaks announced that Hastings had also contacted Jennifer Robinson, one of its lawyers, a few hours prior to the crash,[72] and the LA Weekly reported that he was preparing new reports on the CIA at the time of his death.[73] His widow Elise Jordan said his final story was a profile of CIA Director John O. Brennan.[74] The FBI released a statement denying that Hastings was being investigated.[61]
