Source? The Guardian reports:

"Coroner's investigators said the drugs likely did not contribute to the June crash, which they classified as an accident. "

"Hastings had been using the hallucinogenic DMT recently, though the drug was not detected in a blood test after the crash." [1]

DMT? That only lasts 15-ish minutes. It's also notorious for being so intense that most people have a hard time moving; complex tasks like driving just aren't going to happen.

This sounds like a story made up by someone who doesn't know how DMT works.

Typical plausible deniability story.

Somewhere in my archive is a declassified doc from I believe the CIA about putting a dead man in a car and then (RC) crashing it. Just tried to find it... maybe someone else has the link. Either way, it's painfully obvious that was a hit. He emailed close confidants right before about needing to go off the radar because of a dangerous story.
