"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn's body has been identified. Meanwhile, Roger Ebert sends an insensitive tweet about Dunn's death.
On Monday, Ebert posted the above message right after tweeting a link to news that Jackass star Ryan Dunn had died in a late-night car accident. Dunn, who was a fast driver according to his mother, had been leaving from a bar. Though a toxicology report isn’t due for a couple weeks, Dunn’s Tumblr account had posted a photo of him drinking with two friends just two hours before the accident. The image has since been removed.
In spite of Ebert’s well-meaning message, however, Dunn’s mourners aren’t taking too kindly to it. Fellow Jackass actor and friend Bam Magera called Ebert out late Monday night for his insensitivity:

Many others must have been on Magera’s side since, on early Tuesday morning, Ebert was surprised to see that his Facebook fan page, containing a cross-post of the message at top, had been suspended for being “hateful, threatening, or obscene.”
