His helmet come off.. It looks pretty fvcked up.
The race has been red flagged since lap 2 where Simoncelli was collected by Colin Edwards and Rossi. Have a look on OneHD for the replay, it's horrific.

I'm sorry to say Marco just passed away

From the footage, I would say he did not have much chance.
The way the stoppage and race cancellation was handled was pathetic to say the least.
They say the race could not continue because every available medical staff were working on him. For gods sake tell the crowd.
Although an occupational hazzard, any loss of life or serious injury is very sad.
R.I.P. Marco
Very tragic
Yep tragic loss to the MotoGP community and Marco's family. Everyone knows the risks going out there but you still never believe it will happen.
RIP Marco, taken to soon
Another sad day for motor racing.

hmmm thats 2 in a week.
live by the sword, die by the sword, he wont be the last.
Looks like he took it straight to the back of the neck, it would have been as instant as possible, at least he did not suffer.
RIP
Yes a sad week for motor sport.
It looked pretty instant when you look at the replay. The helmet coming off is not a good thing and the force required with the strap on would be a pretty big blow.
When the red flag went on for so long I was thinking this isn't good and when they cancelled the race I guessed he was gone.
The crowd could of been better informed. There might of been a riot becuse they didn't know what was going on when they cancelled the race.

Very, very sad - these guys are modern day warriors
Its Hell in the Tropics
I wonder if there was an underlying medical condition that caused him to swerve & collect the other bikes. I couldn't see in the video as to what happened in the few seconds before he veered across the track.

It seems he has had major issues with that track in the past. In 2010 he had 2 pre season crashes there, including one which cracked his helmet.
As he prepared to make his bow in the premier class in 2010, Simoncelli endured a real baptism of fire as he suffered two hefty high-side accidents at Sepang in the space of three weeks, with the second crash so severe as to crack his helmet and leave the Italian dazed and confused.
