A new toxicology report indicates that *Jackass* star Ryan
Dunn<http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ryan-dunn>'s
blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit at the time of his fatal car
crash <http://mashable.com/2011/06/20/ryan-dunn-crash/>.

After initially stating that toxicology results would take four to six weeks
to deliver, the West Goshen Township Police Department were able to provide
a
report<http://www.metro.us/philadelphia/local/article/897438--ryan-dunn-twic
e-as-drunk-as-legal-limit-police-say>Wednesday.

Early reports from Barnabies, the West Chester, Pennsylvania bar that Dunn
was at before the accident, indicated that the star had three beers and
three shots of liquor. The police report indicates that Dunn's blood alcohol
level was 0.196%, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08%. "No drugs of
abuse" were detected.

runk-as-legal-limit-police-say>

The crash investigation indicates that Dunn's vehicle, a Porsche, was
traveling between 132 to 140 miles per hour at the time of the crash. That's
far faster than the 100 mph speed we previously estimated.

The incredibly fast turnaround from the police department in the Dunn case
may be associated with the growing media attention - online and off -
related to the crash and the reaction from celebrities.

Film critic Roger Ebert <http://mashable.com/follow/topics/roger-ebert> has
been criticized for insensitively
remarking<http://mashable.com/2011/06/20/roger-ebert-jackass-drunk-driving/>
on
Dunn's fate on Twitter and Facebook. His Facebook page was briefly removed
<http://mashable.com/2011/06/21/roger-ebert-facebook/> following complaints
about his comment. Since then, Ebert has attempted to clarify his remarks
<http://mashable.com/2011/06/21/robert-ebert-tweet/>, noting that the timing
of his tweet may have been insensitive, but he still stood by them.
