    Just so everyone knows, there was no suspected foul play such as street racing or anything illegal involved. I'm just not sure how a car can explode like that without some major speeding or racing.

      Some clever sleuth in the autoblog comments pointed out there was a gas line right at the place of impact:

      Just looking at the pictures of the car being wrapped around a tree (http://www.nydailyne...rt-article-1.1533786), there's no way they weren't speeding. I don't imagine they were racing anyone, and I hope it didn't involve drugs or alcohol, but there was certainly something illegal happening. It looks a lot like an accident that happened near an apartment of mine several years ago. Some kids were driving 90-100MPH in a 35MPH zone, lost control and hit a tree. 3 kids in the car died instantly, and the engine of the car flew another 100-150' from the rest of the car.

        Wow that car was wrapped around that tiny looking tree. Even if the fire didn't break out, I doubt they would have survived. There's no doubt that they were speeding.

      He lost control and crashed into a tree which caused the car to explode.

        He wasn't driving.

        Yes obviously, but this isn't a movie set. Cars don't just explode, if anything they catch on fire. I've seen many accidents in my life.

    I never thought I'd be this sad. It's a real shame, he seemed like a genuinely kind individual.

      As far as i know he never had any scandal. He was totally calmed person living his life.

    Really saddened by this. RIP Mr. Paul Walker. Your movies were thoroughly enjoyed by me and my friends.

    RIP Mr. Walker. You will be missed. Fast and Furious were very enjoyable movies that will carry on your legacy.
