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
