From the reports I have read, Dunn was pulled out of the wreckage from behind the wheel - the other unidentified man was his passnger. Dunn was identified via tattoos and some facial hair that remained, apparently.

From Here:

According to the police report obtained by CBS Philly, Ryan was driving his 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 when it crashed into a wooded area and burst into flames. Both Dunn and Hartwell died as a result of injuries they sustained in the crash.

Police believe speed may have been a contributing factor in the accident.

According to the celebrity gossip web site TMZ, just hours before the wreck Dunn had been with friends at a bar in West Chester where he had uploaded a picture of himself with a drink in hand to his Twitter account; however, at this time there is no word if alcohol played a role in the crash.

So according to the police, he was definitely driving but I think people should probably reserve judgement on damning him for drink driving until such time as/if toxicology reports are released.

Well I seem to remember the old Porsche 911's were called 'widow-makers' back in the '80s on account of the number of stock brokers that came a cropper in them. Seems not much has changed...
