I’ve seen in more recent reports that Mr. Arness was the grandfather of a child who also lost their father just weeks after this crash. A family so incredibly devastated by two accidents, not to mention how close together they were, is unthinkable. Authorities should always be thorough in getting people the answers they need, but if there is any situation where that would be more important than it is here, I simply can’t imagine it.
