His brother and family don't believe the conspiracy theories. If there was any evidence, I don't think they'd be scared to say so in such an emotional state.

Also in the police report, I believe his brother said he had been using DMT and he tested positive for what was likely Adderall. He was in a unique state to truly be paranoid and throwing psychedelics in the mix could cause one to try to cope in ways that challenge reality.

Of course, this also would be the perfect time to stage a murder and it's not improbable that someone did discuss killing him. Also DMT only last 5-10 minutes, he certainly wasn't driving while doing it and if anything, it can give you a sense of peace and acceptance to the craziness of life.

I think given what we knew until today, it was prudent for his family to deny the theories. Now that we have evidence showing car hacking isn't just some theoretical exploit, but something they were actively looking into around that time, it merits reexamination.
