Zachary Hartwell's Father Speaks
In an interview with HollywoodLife.com Zac's father, George Hartwell revealed that Zac had been working on a documentary with Ryan and also confessed that Zac had spoken with him just a day before he died about starting a family. Mr. Hartwell also talks about why his family won’t be suing Ryan’s estate.
“Besides being a comedic individual, my son was a loving individual, he was a tough individual. At the time, he had been working on a documentary about a very serious subject matter, reveals Mr. Hartwell.”
When asked what the documentary was about and if it would still go forward with production, George said, “You will have to speak to Bam [Margera] about that and yes, Bam said that it would be made. I can’t reveal too much about the documentary but I can say that it was Zac’s idea from start to finish. He was consumed with it for the past two years of his life, working with Bam on it day and night. This was his passion and dream. Bam promised me that he would see to it that it comes out. What would make me happiest is to one day watch the documentary and see that it says ‘This is dedicated to Zachary Hartwell’. When people see it they will be shocked because they will be expecting something funny, but it’s a very serious subject matter and it’s not ‘Jackass’-related at all.”
When asked how Zac’s wife, Rachel, was doing, George said, “She is still in shock. She was not able to take part in any part of the funeral. She was there of course. She is just dazed. It’s funny, my son just told me on Father’s Day — the day before the accident — that they were thinking about starting a family.”
The story gets even more heartbreaking. “Zac and Ryan were just 30 seconds away from Zac’s home when the accident happened. Rachel actually heard the crash but didn’t think it had anything to do with Zac. The tree they hit is on Zac’s property. They were going too fast, they didn’t make the turn. The car was airborne for about 150 feet before it burst into flames,” explains Mr. Hartwell.
Mr. Hartwell goes on to explain why he won't be suing Ryan Dunn's estate-“Why would we sue? Zac made the same mistakes. He speeds, he drives like a maniac, he drinks. Why should I make a monetary gain on my son’s death? It’s not going to bring him back. They both made the same mistake. Mistakes are made.”

Roger Ebert Apologizes and Clarifies Tweet
Roger Ebert took to his website and posted the following apology in what appears to be directed to Bam as Ebert writes the apology after first posting the two tweets from Bam.
To begin with, I offer my sympathy to Ryan Dunn's family and friends, and to those of Zachary Hartwell, who also died in the crash. I mean that sincerely. It is tragic to lose a loved one. I also regret that my tweet about the event was considered cruel. It was not intended as cruel. It was intended as true.
I have no way of knowing if Ryan Dunn was drunk at the time of his death.
He then goes on to attempt to clarify what he meant by his tweet.
What did I mean by that? I meant exactly what I wrote. I wasn't calling Ryan Dunn a jackass. In Twitter shorthand, I was referring to his association with "Jackass." I thought that was clear. I note that Bam Margera uses the word "jackass" in the same way in his tweet.
I think what Mr. Ebert has done here is the right thing to do. He is absolutely entitled to his opinion but I believe his tweet was too soon given that all of the facts haven't come out and clarification was definitely needed as the tweet was taken as offensive by Ryan's loved ones. You can read his entire apology and clarification here.
