Unfortunately Paul died in a tragic accident


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Walker#Death

On November 30, 2013, at approximately 3:30 p.m. PST, Walker and Roger Rodas, 38, left an event for Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan[46] in Rodas's red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car crashed into a concrete lamppost and two trees on Hercules Street, in a 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) speed zone near Kelly Johnson Parkway in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, after which the vehicle burst into flames. The crash was caught on film by a security camera.[46][47][48][49][50] Authorities determined that Rodas was driving the car, while Walker was the passenger.[51] The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department declared both victims dead at the scene.[48][52] Rodas died of multiple traumatic injuries, while Walker died from the combined effects of traumatic and Thermal trauma, according to the Los Angeles county coroner's office. Both of their bodies were burned beyond recognition

Yes, it's tragic that the driver of the Porsche felt it was necessary to drive at speeds over 90 mph on a road where the limit was clearly posted at 45 mph.

Good thing there was no one coming in oncoming traffic.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

They were driving too fast... Too furious.
