Police said Dunn crashed his 2007 Porsche while driving in West Goshen, about 35 miles west of Philadelphia, according to TMZ.com. Dunn and his passenger, who has not yet been identified, "died as a result of injuries sustained in the accident," said police. Dunn tweeted a photo of himself drinking with friend’s just hours before a car crash that left him dead in Pennsylvania. West Goshen police said Dunn``s Porsche was found in a wooded area off the road, "fully engulfed in flames." They said speed might have been a contributing factor in the accident.
