In a tragic twist of fate, it's been revealed that the stepbrother of Chris Baker, the assistant to Travis Barker who died in last week's plane crash, died a month ago in a motorcycle wreck. Their mother Linda Warn told a local paper, "Now they're both with God. We had our hands full with those two, so now God is busy."

Friday's plane crash left the former blink-182 member and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, in critical condition and killed four people. Despite initial reports, Chris Baker was NOT rushing home because his wife was in labor. His wife was not pregnant at the time, they are the parents of a two-year-old son.

The crash was reportedly caused by a blown tire just moments before takeoff. The NTSB said the crew tried to abort the takeoff, but it was too late.

A memorial fund has been set up for the families.

I live in Columbia,S.C, And paparrazzi are crawling everywhere and these guys aren’t even here, after the crash they sent them to GA (whice is close to us) But they are talked to everyone and anyone that will give them the time of day! And they are like cockroaches all over at 5 points!
