actor who played undercover agent Brian O'Conner in the
Fast & Furious movies, is dead. He was killed yesterday
afternoon Saturday November 30th in a tragic car accident
in California. He had been shooting another installment of
the Fast & Furious franchise in Atlanta but returned home
to California for thanksgiving when the accident occurred
while on his way back from a charity event.
Paul Walker was a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT

community of Valencia, north of Los Angeles. When police
arrived at the scene of the accident, the car was in flames
and the two men inside the car were declared dead at the
scene. Paul was just 40.
"It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm
that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car
accident while attending a charity event for his
organisation Reach Out Worldwide. He was a
passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their
lives. We are stunned and saddened beyond belief by
this news." A statement on Paul's Facebook page
said.
His co-star Vin Diesel said in a post on Instagram that he
was speechless: "Brother I will miss you very much. I am
absolutely speechless. Heaven has gained a new Angel.
Rest in Peace."
