A crash didn't kill him. Heat stroke did. http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News ... -8005.aspx
Lichtle tangled with Ryan Villopoto and Tommy Hahn in the first turn of Lap one, but recovered and was making his way up in the pack before collapsing on his bike on turn 18 of the 10th and final lap. Lichtle got up and tried to restart his bike, but fell again and began going into heat-related seizures. He was treated by the track doctor and on-site EMTs before being taken to nearby Saint Joseph's Medical Center.

Re: R.I.P. Josh Lichtle
josh was the first real "known/famous" amateur i ever saw at a track back in the day, he was a rad dude thats fersure, i hope this might change some rules and settings for MX though like i read somewhere so nothing else happens like this again.
