Silverado 3500 4WD Diesel

Death was the result of a crash involving a 2004 Silverado truck, dually. My son, gene, deceased owner, was returning home when truck skidded and rolled over at least twice, killing him. I think there may have been a problem with the brakes or power steering, but am not sure how to proceed with this. I hope you can help in some way. Gene's work was on the road, and he lived on the road. Although alcohol was a factor in the crash, his mother spoke to him within the hour of his death and he did not seem very intoxicated.
