At the hospital, Peterson's X-rays showed he had 7 fractures in one leg and 3 in the other. After discussion with Ronnie himself, the surgeons decided to operate to stabilize the bones. Unfortunately, during the night, bone marrow went into Peterson's bloodstream through the fractures, forming fat globules on his major organs including lungs, liver, and brain. By morning he was in full renal failure and was declared dead a few hours later. The cause of death was given as fat embolism

  • the main reason why ...

    the main reason why he broke his legs was because he had destroyed his type 79 in practice and the only oyher car was the type 78 which was for andretti and it was to small and cramped so when he hit the barrier his legs had more chance of being broken :'(

    R.I.P Ronnie you will never be fogotton in my mind :'(

    BAMMO.

    They take such huge risks and it's a shame when they pay the ultimate price! This one is especially upsetting, though, once you read about him a bit.
