Since the tragic death of Paul Walker many have speculated the initial cause of his death. Now it’s being reported
that the L.A. County Coroner’s Office has completed their examination
via dental records for both Walker, and his friend, Roger Rodas, who was
driving the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT.
The L.A. County Coroner’s Office has released a statement in regards
to the tragic crash that took the lives of actor Paul Walker, and his
friend, Roger Rodas. Walker, 40, passed away due to a “combination of traumatic and thermal injuries.”
According to the statement, Walker did not die by the impact of the
crash, and is believed to have been alive for a few seconds. It’s said
that ultimately the fire caused by the impact was the cause of death. In
the case of Roger Rodas, 38, the driver died on impact from severe
injuries, and fire was not listed as a factor in his death.
It’s said that toxicology results will not be in for the two men
until six to eight weeks, although the Medical Examiner has ruled that
the deaths of Walker and his friend were accidental.
As for the event surrounding the accident, the two men were winding down after a charity event for Walker’s ROWW organization
when they decided to take the red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT out for a
test drive. According to Walker and Rodas’ mutual friend, Jim Torp, the
two were not drag racing and were testing out a problem with the car
that the two were trying to diagnose.
Shortly they left the garage, tragedy struck. According to Torp, smoke was visible
from Always Evolving Performance Motors, which was the shop Rodas
owned, and is around the corner from the crash site. Although many of
their friends tried to get them out of the car, there was nothing that
could be done. In addition, initial reports that said Walker’s
15-year-old daughter Meadow was on site at the time are false.
Paul Walker’s family has made an official statement on his public Facebook that has amassed to 12 million likes:
“Paul Walker’s family appreciates the outpouring of love and goodwill
from his many fans and friends. They have asked, in lieu of flowers or
other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul’s charity Reach Out
Worldwide (ROWW). Donations can easily be made through their website at
