My first thought, on finding no cause of death listed, was how the cause of death is typically omitted when people commit suicide. Not saying it was suicide, mind you, I have no information aside from what we all have.

He died in a small town, relatively. So any day of the week someone killed themselves in LA, but not rural nowheres-ville, so the lack of XYZ in nowheres-ville kinda proves something. His internet public memories page was full of relatively close friends and relatives in shock. So your situation or an accident. The police would be involved either way. I pulled the police log for the week of his death of all police calls in that city and found nothing logged along the lines of any bodies being found or violent crime or whatever. As near as I can tell the only interesting thing that happened in the town where he died on the day he died was a very major traffic accident, the worst thing to happen in town in weeks before and after. There was a twitter-worthy hours long road closing due to a major (aka fatal) car accident. Absence of finding anything proves nothing, perhaps they intentionally censor suicide calls or it has to be considered that "suicide by car" is not unknown, but I would not be surprised if he died in that specific car accident.

  There isn't much information online, but I found a local TV story claiming that "David Hahn, the man known as the 'Radioactive Boy Scout', died in his Shelby Township home on Sept. 27 at the age of 39." 'In his home' would seem to exclude a car accident: https://www.facebook.com/ShelbyTwpTV/videos/942897049150097/ https://www.facebook.com/ShelbyTwpTV/videos/942897049150097/ Separately, the funeral home "tribute wall" has comments which would seem to imply suicide or drug overdose. In particular, it would seem very odd to say "I believe David finally has the peace he so desperately needed" unless his mental state played a role in his death: http://www.wasikfuneralhome.com/obituaries/David-Hahn-2/#!/TributeWall http://www.wasikfuneralhome.com/obituaries/David-Hahn-2/#!/T...
