It is certainly ironic that the owner of a company, that sells a product on which a fairly large amount of effort was spent to ensure that the public knew how safe they were, dies in an accident involving that product.
The fact that he just recently bought the company, so presumably was not involved in the efforts to convince people it was safe, makes it a little less so, but the irony is still there.
