"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn died in a car crash in Pennsylvania early this morning ... TMZ has confirmed.
34-year-old Dunn appeared in all of the "Jackass" movies -- famously shoving a toy car into his rectum in the first flick back in 2002.
Dunn and an unidentified person both died in the crash which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township. It's unclear who was driving the car.
It saddens me whenever I hear or read news about someone dies regardless of who that someone is. When a person dies he's gone forever. What can be sadder than that?
