I heard rumor that he died yesterday, and that turned out to be a hoax, and then this happens the very next die...kinda freaky. But for his family and him, that sucks...

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a rumor so people will stop posting up fake celebrity deaths like jackie chan and morgan freemen I see once a month

This is real. Unfortunate, he was one of the few actors I actually liked. Race in peace Paul Walker! :/

He will be sorely missed. His acting prowess wasn't pure gold, but he was definitely entertaining to watch for sure. He was very active in the charity community and it is tragic especially with the way that he and the other occupant passed from this life to the next.

I heard during one of the announcements that he was in the middle of filming the seventh Fast and Furious film. It will be interesting to see what the producers do going forward on that project.

Very unfortunate to hear him go so soon. What originally sparked my interest in cars was all because of F&F. His passing is definitely a sad day for the car community.

A picture of his daughter's Twitter post was included within the body of several stories. That post 'put a lump in my throat'. I hope he has his financial affairs set up properly, and that his daughter benefits appropriately and over time..not all at once. It sounds as though he had a very capable financial advisor....problem being the financial advisor was the person driving the Porsche, and he died as well. I imagine his attorney thought of that in advance. I guess if you let someone drive you somewhere, it's hard to do better than a friend you trust with your money, who drives (along with you) for the team that he owns.

Freestylin, thank you for including that picture. The quote across the middle of it (IMO) reminds us to celebrate his life, the pleasure he brought to people who love to drive (who could be safe in their theater seats or on the sofa at home, and get at least some of that rush via what they saw on screen and heard through the sound system)....and to remember all of that instead of being too sad beyond the moment.

Someone recorded Tyrese's entire visit to the crash site (including putting his flower with the others) and inserted the video (IIRC) in an article on Yahoo! One could tell he was barely keeping his composure.

Reps for Paul Walker announced that numerous profiles on different social media platforms claiming to be Meadow (and creating posts) aren't legitimate. That Meadow is not active on any social media platforms. How sad that people are creating these fakes, being emotionally manipulative, and convincing enough to hoodwink mainstream media outlets into including pictures of these posts within what is being reported.
