U.S. — Daily Wire host Matt Walsh passed away Monday aboard Southwest Airlines Flight WN2208 after the passenger in front of him reclined her seat and crushed him to death, officials announced.

"I don't know why I did it. The seat doesn't even recline back far enough to provide any real comfort," said the sociopathic woman who rudely killed him. "I guess pressing that button and leaning back 2 full inches made me feel powerful."

"I didn't realize what horrific consequences would result."

Flight WN2208 was rerouted to Tallahassee International Airport where it performed an emergency landing. Walsh was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reportedly heard a quick yelp followed by the sound of 206 bones being splintered into a thousand pieces as Matt Walsh's body was flattened like a pancake.

Authorities are unclear exactly how Walsh's body was smeared into a fine paste given that airline seats only recline back about two inches, but they could not argue with the horror before their eyes. According to sources, EMTs will undergo mandatory counseling due to the graphic nature of the scene.

Matt Walsh is survived by his wife Alissa, their six children, and Jeremy Boreing.

At publishing time, the FAA launched a formal inquiry with airline companies to figure out why they keep making seats that recline even though no one is supposed to use them.
