Death
Ryan Bennett died May 31, 2006, as he and his family were traveling through Utah in their Ford Expedition SUV near Fillmore, Utah. According to the Utah Highway Patrol, Bennett was traveling southbound on Interstate 15 in Fillmore around 5:15 p.m. with his wife and four children when their sport utility vehicle drifted onto the east shoulder on a slight bend in the road. The vehicle, driven by Bennett, then swerved back onto the roadway before tumbling off it again and rolling down the median five times. Bennett, though seat belted, was partially ejected from the vehicle, and died instantly.
All six occupants had been wearing seat belts at the time of the accident, confirmed investigating officer Trooper Shields, who described Bennett's death as "instantaneous" after he had been propelled outside the vehicle's A-pillar and exposed to the external portion of the vehicle. Shields dispelled the rumor that a blown tire had been the catalyst of the accident. "It's apparent that all the tires were up when the vehicle took its first turn and then skid back in."

That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
