Jakarta –
The death of Paul Walker in November 2013 came as quite a shock to many people, especially when Paul died in a car accident. The 2005 Porsche he was driving with a friend caught fire after crashing into a lamppost and a tree.
Before the accident, Paul had taken part in the Walker’s Reach Out Worldwide charity event. He left the venue with his partner Roger Rodas. Roger Rodas drives a red Porsche Carrera GT while Paul Walker sits in the passenger seat.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the car being driven reached a speed of 100 miles per hour, or around 160 kilometers per hour. Both Roger and the Fast and Furious star were declared free of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana and other drugs in their systems.
“The force of the collision caused the vehicle to rotate 180 degrees…The passenger side of the vehicle then struck a tree and the vehicle burst into flames,” the Los Angeles County coroner’s report states.
“The force of the impact was so severe that the vehicle was nearly split in half,” the report said.
After 11 years passed, the Fast and Furious actor’s autopsy results suddenly went viral and started trending on social media.
Paul Walker autopsy results
Paul was found lying on his back as his body muscles contracted from the heat and his limbs took on a boxer-like shape. According to Medical Dictionary, the boxer’s position is caused by the high temperatures in the fire, which causes stiffening and shortening of the muscles.
This condition can occur even if a person was already dead before the fire. Additionally, horrific burns left Paul’s skin so badly charred that he could only be identified through dental records.
Paul also suffered multiple fractures throughout his body, including his jaw, collarbone, left upper arm, ribs and pelvis. Even more frightening, pieces of soot (fine grains of charcoal) were found in the film star’s throat, meaning he was still alive and breathing when the fire broke out.
In September 2015, Walker’s daughter Meadow Rain filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Porsche, claiming that the sports car she was driving had numerous design defects. However, Porsche blamed Paul Walker for his own death in one of its sports cars.
The dispute was finally resolved in 2017 by dismissing the wrongful death lawsuit and keeping the terms of the settlement confidential.
