In the dead of night he went to the telephone pole where his friend died, acoustic guitar in hand, and sang dirges into the night.

He was struck by a drunk driver while playing his guitar. He was killed instantly. Pieces of guitar were scattered all across the road. The driver panicked and left the scene. To this day(roughly two years ago), the driver still hasn't been found.
Holy f*cking irony.
