I know there are many fans on here but does it really make any difference if he was drinking for 5 hours, 2 hours or 4 bloody days? He was drunk and lost his and a friends life

A friend of Ryan Dunn has blasted the "ludicrous" press reports surrounding the Jackass star's tragic death.

Thaddeus Kalinoski was partying with Dunn on the night of the car crash that claimed the lives of the 34-year-old and his passenger Zachary Hartwell.

Although Dunn was confirmed as being legally drunk at the time of the accident, Kalinoski debunked previous unfavourable accounts about the extent of their boozing.

"Reports were saying five hours [of drinking] which is ludicrous. It was maybe two hours," he told E! Online. "He was the same person as he came in and as he left he was in good spirits, just really happy to be there with his friends."

When asked if Dunn had intentionally set out to get drunk, Kalinoski stated: "Absolutely not. It was a Sunday night. He came in with... two other guys, one being Zach... [it was just] guys at the bar drinking, relaxing, having a couple of drinks. That is all it was... I didn't see anything abnormal."

Recalling the news of Dunn's death, Kalinoski added: "When I heard it the next day, I didn't believe it. I didn't even think it was real. [I wish I could] go back and tell [Ryan] to stop, but it was just people out at a bar having drinks."

Jackass star Bam Margera recently hit out at film critic Roger Ebert for a "cruel" tweet about Dunn's drunk driving.

It was reported today that Dunn's funeral will be picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church.
