But the web site in his honor says that the cause of the crash can never
be known.

True, I don't think anybody will ever know for certain exactly what
happened. However, he and his friends are under the impression that the
disc / dropout phenomenon exerted itself on that day.

Besides that, even if it was wheel ejection that caused his
crash details are lacking.

What details? The tribute website is not there to debate the causes of
the accident, nor comment on the disc / dropout issue.

What fork was he using? Was it one of those
Pace forks that don't have retention lips?

No. He'd actually swapped from a set of Pace for exactly this reason.
He was riding Fox forks, I believe.
