Ryan Dunn's death: Westboro Baptist Church to protest
They're at it again.
The notorious Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. announced Tuesday that its members will protest any public service held for 'Jackass' star Ryan Dunn, who died on Monday in a high speed car accident, according to Daily Local of Westchester in Pennsylvania.
The church has a history of protesting high-profile burials, often calling deaths a punishment from God. The group has been denounced as radical by many Christian organizations.
WBC will picket any public memorial/funeral held for Dunn, warning all not to make a mock of sin, and to fear and obey God, the group said in a news release. It's headline states: Ryan Dunn is in hell!
DellaVechia, Reilly, Smith & Boyd Funeral Home, Inc said services and interment for Dunn will be private. A public memorial service will be announced at a later date.
Dunn, 34, was killed after his car veered off the road. While the exact cause of the accident isn't known, police say high speeds were definitely a contributing factor. Preliminary autopsy results came back Tuesday listing the cause of death as blunt force trauma and serve burns because the car became engulfed in flames. Dunn was so badly burned that he had to be identified by his tattoos. It's not known if the crash or the fire actually killed Dunn.
Some are speculating that the crash was caused by alcohol, as Dunn posted a picture on hsi Twitter hours before the crash of him drinking with friends. Toxicology reports won't be back for another 4 to 6 weeks to determine if alcohol played a role.
