He Died from blunt force trauma to the head. Bruise the size of a quarter in the temple. He was woken up from the floor and put in his seat minutes before the crash. Presumably hit in the head by flying debris. In a plane crash a simple ash tray or bottle or small object ( large ones too) would hit people at up to whatever speed the plane crashed at. The plane stops but loose objects keep moving . That's the cause of death but one would assume his body was mangled like all the survivors. His widow posted his autopsy report online to resolve some kind of scandal involving Billy Powel( keyboardist) I'm in the process of looking that up out of interest. Like yours I assume.
