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
