RIP Paul Walker

Variety and the LA news stations also say it is true.

This is like the first example of someone who has been the victim of an internet death hoax actually dying and then people thinking the real death is a hoax.
 
The red Carrera GT in the wreck was absolutely demolished. That was a serious, serious crash.

RIP.
 
RIP. It's disgusting that this was rumored as a hoax, and people had to try to figure out whether it was legit or not.
 
That's a shame. Another James Dean. Live fast and die young. Too young. Heard he was giving rides to his friends in the car and I hope no one else was With him. RIP
 
Stolen from Reddit:

I'm posting this with a throw away account because I don't want to profit from this tragedy, but here are some facts about the accident today that everyone needs to know:
I was at the event an hour before the crash and 3 of my close friends were first responders at the scene.
Paul was NOT driving the car, the car was being driven by Roger Rodas, his business partner at Always Evolving
They were NOT street racing - There was no other car involved
The only car involved was a Porsche Carrera GT owned by Always Evolving, which is part owned by Paul Walker
The crash happened on a quiet industrial area, directly in front of the AE shop
Paul was there to support a Christmas Toy Drive - This was NOT a racing event / underground street race / anything of the sort
Roger lost control of the car, spun, hit a pole and the car broke in half and burned
Edit: There were NO DRUGS and NO ALCOHOL involved, at all. There was zero alcohol at the event.
Paul was a very casual acquaintance of mine, I doubt if he even remembers who I was, but he was very close friends with a good friend of mine - Paul was was very gracious to everyone he met and an overall nice guy.
Please help me dispel any rumors that could taint his memory - Yes, he was the Fast and Furious guy, but street racing and endangering lives was not his thing.
Paul has done great work with his charity Reach Out WorldWide including sending medical teams and supplies to the Philippines recently.
Clarification: I was NOT at the scene and was not a witness, I left to go get some food and heard about the accident and the fire dept was already gone by the time I returned.
Edit this is where the crash happened. The AE shop is directly behind it. http://goo.gl/maps/J85LQ

even race car drivers make mistakes. The driver was a pro and still ended in tragedy. Its just sad that two people lost their lives

What's more disgusting are the people popping jokes about the loss of another person. Not on this forum, but on other forums, FB, etc. Makes me sick!

Devastating to hear and a horrific way to die. RIP
