Michael Hasting dies at 33

BuzzFeed reporter and a Rolling Stone contributor Michael Hastings died in a car crash Tuesday in Los Angeles. He was 33.

BuzzFeed's editor in chief Ben Smith posted a statement about Hastings' death on its site.

"We are shocked and devastated by the news that Michael Hastings is gone. Michael was a great, fearless journalist with an incredible instinct for the story, and a gift for finding ways to make his readers care about anything he covered from wars to politicians," he wrote.

RollingStone also posted about Hastings, praising his profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, his piece on America's drone war and the interview with WikiLeaks' JulianAssange.

Hastings won a 2010 George Polk Award for his story on McChrystal, titled "TheRunaway General."

"I'm sad that I'll never get to publish all the great stories that he was going to write, and sad that he won't be stopping by my office for any more short visits which would stretch for two or three completely engrossing hours. He will be missed," wrote Rolling Stone'sManaging Editor Will Dana.
