Rogers’s death was confirmed by local authorities and later published widely in media reports, with the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s office ruling his passing accidental after he suffered blunt force head trauma in the collision involving his motorcycle and a box truck on the Pacific Coast Highway at approximately 3:48 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol and reporting by People magazine.
