A single car crash is the cause of death.Thunder minority owner Aubrey McClendon has passed away in a fatal car wreck. McClendon's death comes just a day after a federal grand jury had indicted him with charges of conspiring to rig bids for the purchase of oil and natural gas leases.
McClendon, 56, crashed into an embankment while traveling at a "high rate of speed" in Oklahoma City just after 9 a.m. local time, said Capt. Paco Balderrama of the Oklahoma City Police Department. Flames engulfed McClendon's vehicle "immediately," Balderrama said. He added that police determined McClendon was not wearing a seatbelt after earlier being unable to tell.
