A cyclist without a helmet or ID died riding on my local bike path

This is a sad story.

I wear my RoadID all the time now. I have since getting the "elite" version but now I have the "slim" one (similar to a livestrong bracelet with the id plate snapped onto it), it's even lighter and I don't see why I'd take it off. Of course I carry ID in my wallet, which is pretty much always on me, but unlike the RoadID it doesn't include contact information.

By wearing it all the time, I just don't need to remember about it, it's just there.

How sad and totally preventable. There's no guarantee a helmet would've saved his life but I would like to think it would have.

From what I've read, I'm inclined to agree.

Ed. to add: And still no news that he's been identified. Now, for all I know he could have already been ID'd, and either it hasn't been made public or I've been looking in the wrong places. I'll be away for the next week, so if anyone is following this saga you'll need to check on your own.
