Is Ryan Dunn really dead?

Is Ryan dunn really dead or is it just another jackass Prank? I heard this morning in the news that Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident at 3 a.m in the morning. They said they distinguished him by his hair and tattoos but the car was engulfed in flames so how could you tell by the hair if hair burns really fast? I just want to know is He really dead?
