It's on youtube. He died on black sunday at imola may 1st 1994 where ratzenberg died friday in practice and rubens barichello had a wicked accident as well the same weekend. He switched from mclaren to williams and the suspension failed or the steering wheel came off.. I don't remember and then the italian magistrates wanted to prosecute williams for his death.

fuggin ferrari .....i mean the italians wanna prosecute everyone who isn't italian..... especially nigel stepney.

Either way, the Italians did attempt to bring charges against the team, the charges were finally dropped two year ago. His official cause of death is accidental homicide.
