Michael was 24 years old when he died on Aug 14,2007 due to the injuries he recieved in a D.U. I related accident. In the early hours of Aug 9 Michael allowed a 21 year old girl get behind the wheel of his own car. They didn't get far, maybe 2 miles before she wrecked his car into a parked flatbed, pushing it 5ft and snapping the axel in half! All of the damage was done to the passengers side of the car. Michaels B.A.C was reported little to none and this girl was .199! We have no idea why he allowed her to drive, since he allowed noone to drive his car. He fought long and hard for 5 days but ultimantly he gave up on the 14th. The doctors done all they could , but the brain damage he recieved was far beyond the medical care he could get. Losing Michael is the hardest thing ever and the pain is so deep, but to lose a loved one this way is absolutly rediculous! This is something totally preventable! People please just wake up and stop thinking of yourself! These lives being lost are worth far more than one night out drinking and driving. I love you Michael
