Determination:

Sometime early Sunday morning, possibly about 5:00am Margaritaville Time, January 2, 2022, Graham D. Cooke, passed away, as the Coroner described it, after a cursory on-scene examination, which would later be proved by extensive forensic neural examination of his nucleus accumbens, amygdala and hypothalamus, as an inflamed amygdala releasing high Dopamine levels from his hypothalamus into his nucleus accumbens earlier that night.

In Summary:

In other words, his hand on the stick shift caused the transmission to get stuck in Reverse.

Details:

Nucleus Accumbens

For you see, though it is known that the nucleus accumbens is the pleasure center of the brain and anything that is pleasurable will activate the nucleus accumbens. That neurochemical messenger, Dopamine, associated with pleasure, reward and reinforcement, flows into this area, and creates the message: “Hey, that was fun; it felt good; oh, don’t stop; I want more.”

Amygdala

But you see, the amygdala which is adjointly located near the hypothalamus, is meant to alert a person to changes in their environment which are detected by their typical senses.
