The car Michael was driving hit an approach, and went airborne. Michael was ejected from the vehicle. Two days later, on May 17, 2006, Michael died from his injuries. He was 18 years old. Alcohol and speed were factors in this crash. Michael was not wearing his seatbelt. Had alcohol not been a factor, the crash might not have happened.
