No, according to Johah Goldberg's column, the accident happend a few day's ago when Jonah was in Israel, and he had enough time to fly back to the US to see his brother before he died.

Thanks for the link to Jonah’s article - I hadn’t seen that before.
Very sad time for the Goldberg family. Let’s keep them in our prayers.
How sad, it’s always hard to lose a loved one like that. I’m glad Jonah had enough time at least, to make it home to see his brother before he died. God bless that family.
