I don't know if many of you remember this thing being kickstarted but it is a pretty neat VR head thing.

Oculus

One of the creators was just walking along and got killed during a police chase.

That's shitty for sure, but did he not hear the sirens or the speeding cars? You can hear those things a mile away

I'd have to assume he was distracted by texting or on the phone or something. Unfortunate =/

Maybe he confused RL with Oculus Rift and thought he was playing GTA or some shit.

That sucks though, dude was on track to be filthy rich if this gadget is nearly as cool as it seems.
