Award-winning journalist Michael Hastings told his neighbor that he was afraid to drive his Mercedes because he believed it had been tampered with, according to a LA Weekly report.

Jordanna Thigpen, a neighbor who had grown close to Hastings, claims he knocked on her door at around midnight one night and asked to borrow her Volvo because he was scared to drive his own vehicle.

“He was scared, and he wanted to leave town,” she told LA Weekly. She didn’t lend Hastings her car because it was in need of repairs.

The next morning, June 18, at roughly 11:15 a.m., Thigpen’s landlord informed her that Hastings had died in an early morning car crash and his Mercedes had exploded in a ball of fire. She said she “burst into tears.”

That is an excellent question. Maybe he staged his death by talking to neighbor and creating doubt as to his safety...DNA should have been matched by the coroner>>
