In that crash, troopers would find 26-year-old Kasilof man, Billy Duncan, unconscious and not breathing about 50 feet from his vehicle. He was also pronounced deceased at the scene.

While troopers acknowledge that alcohol was a factor in the Duncan crash in September, they have not revealed the circumstances of this crash.
