Coroner: Wheldon died of blunt head trauma
Autoracing Betting Lines
10/17/2011 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon died of blunt head trauma sustained in Sunday's fiery 15-car crash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the Clark County Coroner's office said.
Results of an autopsy performed on the two-time Indianapolis 500 winner and former series champion were released Monday.
The corner's office ruled Wheldon's death accidental and said the driver was pronounced dead at 1:54 p.m.
Wheldon was killed after his car became airborne, hit the outside wall and burst into flames early on in the scheduled 300-mile race. He was airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, but died of his injuries.
The wreck, which sent several other drivers to the hospital, left broken cars and pieces of flaming metal scattered about the track in a scene that one driver likened to a war movie.
After learning that Wheldon had died, officials canceled the race and drivers made a five-lap tribute around the 1.5-mile track.
Wheldon, who was 33, had started from the rear of the field as the only driver eligible to split a $5 million bonus with a lucky fan if he could have won the race.
The coroner's office said in a news release that it would work closely with race officials, safety equipment personnel and the physicians who attended to Wheldon to fully review the case in an effort to help increase safety for other drivers.
Wheldon is survived by his wife, Susie, and two young sons, Sebastian and Oliver.

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
