Paul Walker died from traumatic and thermal injuries reveals autopsy
Paul Walker died from traumatic and thermal injuries.
The Fast and the Furious actor’s cause of death was reveled yesterday, however some results are still pending.
The actor was killed in a collision on Saturday alongside his friend and business associate Roger Rodas.
The Los Angeles county coroner’s office has said both men died within seconds of the crash.
The coroner’s office determined that the driver – Roger Rodas – died of “multiple traumatic injuries” and Paul died of “combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries” in the single-car accident.
“Both deaths have been ruled by the coroner to be accidents,” read a statement from the coroner’s office on Wednesday. Walker was 40 and Rodas was 38 when they died on Nov. 30, and the accident was described as: “Auto versus fixed object.”
Toxicology results, which would show if any drugs or alcohol were involved, are still up to eight weeks away, the coroner’s office said Wednesday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department recently denied claims a second vehicle was involved in the crash and that the car was racing another.
Late Tuesday, Detective Jeff Maag of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department told The Hollywood Reported that several more days are needed before the cause of the crash can be determined.
“We’re looking at probably, and hopefully, sometime next week. I’m waiting for the crowds to clear so I can do a little bit more investigation at the scene,” he said.
“The fans should be allowed to mourn how they want to mourn. I think that’s fair, and they’ll probably be done next week.”
It was also confirmed by Universal today that production on Fast & Furious 7 is being temporarily shut down.
