I'm sure we'll get some conspiracy theories over his death.
“Mr Tepper was not wearing a helmet and struck his head on the sign — he died instantly. I believe he was moving very fast at the time of the crash, as part of the sign pole was buried a metre underground, and it was pulled out by the impact,” Captain Thada Sodarak of the Chalong Police told BTCFeed.
Oh yea, speeding without a helmet on, he was asking for it. People here call such irresponsible riders "organ donors".
Even a helmet likely wouldn't have saved him from smashing his head on a sign at speed.
