Chicago - Roger Ebert says he was "probably too quick to tweet" when he posted on Twitter about "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn, who died in a fiery car crash on Monday.
Ebert tweeted that "friends don't let jackasses drink and drive". The message prompted a landslide of posts on Ebert's Facebook page. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago movie critic posted a message from Facebook early on Tuesday saying his page was removed for violating Terms of Use.
Ebert responded, asking Facebook on Twitter why his page was removed. He wrote that it "makes you look bad".
A few hours later, Ebert tweeted that his Facebook page was "back online". Facebook apologised and says Ebert's page was "removed in error."
A prelimanary autopsy report released on Tuesday confirmed that Dunn and passenger Zachary Hartwell died from the impact of the violent car crash and the resulting fire.
