Seriously. Is anyone's life so freakin' self-important that they feel compelled to do this???

Plastic surgeon was texting in car before fatal crash

Dr. Frank Ryan, plastic surgeon to Heidi Montag and other celebrities, was sending a Twitter message about his border collie just before his fatal car accident, his ex-girlfriend tells PEOPLE.

"He lived up in Malibu on a tiny street and he was texting while driving and he accidentally went over the cliff," Charmaine Blake says.

Blake, a celebrity publicist, says Ryan's family was told by investigators that the Tweeting caused the wreck on Monday.

The dog, whose name is Jill -- Blake's middle name -- was in the car at the time of the crash and survived injuries to the head, eye and paw.

Fucking. MORON.

1. He did ten cosmetic surgeries on a girl in her twenties.

Yes, he was a fucking moron.

3. Sad but stupid... I feel for the poor dog...

'Glad that she made it, but she went through hell, too, because of this man's self-absorption.

[Iggo]

4. I can't stop laughing at this terribly sad story. (n/t)

5. And they reported the condition of the dog.

16. Are you saying you weren't at all interested at what happened

to the dog? Once you get past the total imbecility of what happened and absorb that this man died texting while driving off a cliff, can you honestly say you weren't at least curious what became of the poor dog who was captive to this man's insane behavior? :shrug:

[alfredo]

18. No, I was surprised because I've never seen a report that

went into detail about a pet's injuries. I wasn't saying it was bad or good. Glad it survived its owner's stupidity.

6. Well at least the dog lived, and the idiot didn't end up killing anyone else...

Seriously.

Life is so often not this fair...

[CanonRay]

7. It was an upbeat story

The idiot died, the dog lived. Happy ending.

15. Thank you for the truly correct perspective.

I really couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry when I read this.

Okay, I admit it. I laughed. I even cackled. But it saddens me that people are so bloody stupid and self-absorbed.

8. LOL...doggie peed on rug...ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[gratuitous]

9. Apparently, yes

Not my life, but then my activities are probably not as vital to humanity as Dr. Ryan's clearly were.

[pipi_k]

10. Oh, and another thought...

the idiot should have let the dog drive.

He'd probably still be alive if he had.

14. Unless the dog's name is Toonces!

17. At least the smarter of the two survived.

19. He should have let the dog drive while he was texting.

It would have been safer.
