Speaking with the local Fox station, Margera sobbed as he spoke about his late friend, who was killed early Monday morning after his Porsche flew off of a local road and slammed into a tree, bursting into flames. Through tears, Margera said despite being thousands of miles away, he had a wild reaction the moment of Dunn’s crash:

“I was in Arizona when I heard. I was with friends having the best time ever and at 12:30 I just started punching out the windows of the rental van … I don’t even know why … it was exactly when he crashed.”

Margera, in between bouts of sobbing, continued, saying: “He was the happiest person ever. The smartest guy — he had so much talent and so many things going for him. It’s just not right.”

Toxicology reports are pending for Dunn, though hours before his death he posted photos on Twitter showing him at a bar, drinking with friends. Local reports claim he had three beers and three shots before driving home that night.

Dunn was a major part of the Jackass series, movies and also of the offshoot show Viva La Bam. Watch a clip below of Dunn in the most recent movie, Jackass 3D: (WARNING: Explicit language:)

Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks Music/Films Group, issued a statement to Dunn’s death on Monday, saying:

“We are devastated by the tragic loss of Ryan Dunn – a beloved member of the MTV family for more than a decade. He made us all laugh and had the tireless enthusiastic approach to life of your favorite middle school friend. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ryan’s family and friends. The Jackass brotherhood will never be the same.”

In reaction to Dunn’s death, celebs and friends alike took to Twitter to remember Dunn. Jackass leader Johnny Knoxville opened his heart on Twitter, saying: “Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan , I love you buddy.” His other Jackass co-star Jason “Wee-Man” Acuna said in a Tweet: “I MISS YOU BUD!! You were always a happy kick-ass dude!!”

Margera made headlines earlier this week when he was ejected from New Zealand’s Auckland Airport and detained after showing up at the airport in what police called a “very intoxicated” state. But Margera’s pal, Chad Ginsburg, says that the Jackass and Viva La Bam star might have been unwittingly exposed to the date-rape drug Rohypnol. Ginsburg, who performs in the band CKY with Margera’s brother Jesse and was the first to confirm Margera’s Auckland detention, Tweeted yesterday,

“Bam finally made it to our gig in perth, turns out he was f*cking roofied at one of our shows in nz and was incapacitated!”

Margera was turned away from the airport after reportedly acting obnoxiously toward passengers and staff. According to an airport spokesperson, there were “concerns about letting them fly in that state.”

In June, Bam was attacked with a bat by a woman outside of a Pennsylvania bar. He was hospitalized and released days later. The skater-turned-TV/movie star was also hospitalized last July following a “possible overdose,” though his mother April claimed that her son was merely “severely dehydrated.”

TMZ reports that the Jackass star was whisked away to the hospital on Sunday by paramedics who rushed to his West Chester, Pennsylvania, home after receiving a 911 call about a “possible overdose.”

Apparently, Bam didn’t learn much from his Jackass co-star Steve-O‘s experiences with drugs.

Coming to Bam’s rescue on the PR end of things is his mother, April Margera, who called in to Philly radio station WMMR on Monday to downplay the whole “took too many drugs” aspect of the story.

April told the radio station that her son had become “severely dehydrated” while filming stunts for his Jackass knockoff Nitro Circus.

So it wasn’t drugs, it was dehydration, eh? Nice to see some people stick with the classics.
