If that is true, then he certainly wasn't conscious when he burned. I think he probably would have died later of internal injuries later, but that is really an unknown factor.
What is annoying is all the Porsche apologists are coming out of the woodwork talking about all the safety features the car has. I mean what is the point of all the seatbelts, crumple zones, elaborate braking components, yada yada yada if the car is going to explode like a bomb? I would rather be killed on impact than survive the impact (because of all the great safety equipment) so that I can be burned alive a half a second later.
The only real relevant safety issue is whether Porsche could have done anything reasonable to reduce the chance of fire after an impact.
