Given the following context:

From AllMovie - After a well-adjusted husband and father experiences the most devastating crisis of his life, events take a most unexpected and incredible turn in Suspension, Ethan Shaftel and Alec Joler's offbeat science fiction fantasy. Scott Cordes stars as Daniel, a family man whose life is seemingly destroyed when his wife and son are killed in an automobile accident, leaving him completely alone. During his intense period of physical and emotional recovery, Daniel uses down time to repair his son's video camera, which was damaged in the crash and somehow "absorbed" the otherworldly power to stop time in its tracks. This amazing discovery re-instills a sense of self-importance and meaning in Daniel, and he quickly turns to another surviving victim of the same tragedy: Sarah, the widowed wife of the other driver from the same accident. Daniel wants nothing more than to help her and begins taking a series of steps in this direction. Unfortunately, Daniel's innate altruism soon outstrips his control and grows decidedly impure, as his magnanimity turns into a compulsion.

answer the following question:

How did the owner of the video camera die?
