Dunn, 34, died along with his friend Zachary Hartwell, 30, from West Chester, Pa. Both men suffered “blunt and thermal trauma” in the crash, which turned Dunn’s car into a fireball, according to the autopsy report. Dunn was driving at twice the legal limit, with authorities saying toxicology results put his blood alcohol concentration at 0.196 percent, while the legal state limit is 0.08.
