Paul Walker of Fast and Furious franchise dead at 40

This is probably a scene from Fast and Furious 7. There is a funeral scene in the movie, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was a publicity stunt.

more than likely

The original Fast and the Furious is running on Bravo right now too...my husband just put it on.

hoax?

Well, my point was if TMZ got the information wrong (not saying they did, but hoping so!) they are the originator and everyone is sourcing their info from them. Hoping they were wrong, I wanted to see Fast and Furious 7 :(

I hope it's wrong too....then we can all laugh at how we got suckered with this story.

"@NewsBreaker: RECAP: @TMZ is reporting that actor Paul Walker has died (image via @weeddude) [link to t.co]

why would you hope so? two people died in a crash, hoping that paul walker didn't die in it is just like hoping another person did. it doesn't make you morally superior.

Well, it would be a good lesson in VERIFYING before running with a story. TMZ is considered to be reputable, but I'm sure they could be duped...all it seems it would take is to dupe one main player and then all the other outlets report it.

News of actor Paul Walker’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the November 2013 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his roles in The Fast and the Furious or Varsity Blues is alive and well.

UPDATE 01/12/2013 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Paul Walker death hoax spreads on Facebook

Rumors of the actor’s alleged demise gained traction on Friday after a ‘R.I.P. Paul Walker’ Facebook page attracted nearly one million of ‘likes’. Those who read the ‘About’ page were given a believable account of the American actor’s passing:

“At about 11 a.m. ET on Friday (November 29, 2013), our beloved actor Paul Walker passed away. Paul Walker was born on September 12, 1973 in Glendale. He will be missed but not forgotten. Please show your sympathy and condolences by commenting on and liking this page.”

well I think they meant that they hope the story in general is a hoax

I guess GOD got pissed off with all those Fast and Furious movies.

I'm not hoping ANYONE died idiot, I'm hoping TMZ IS WRONG about the entire thing. I don't even get the morally superior part???

Yep!

a local paper article..you may have a hard time accessing it I know I did

dammit. i was looking forward to FF7. statham and the kid from 3 would have been an ok movie.

I saw the story on a fiery crash and two people were found dead in the vehicle but they were not identified.

I believe these are just nasty rumors.
Pretty sure if this were true, all the msm like cnn and fox would be reporting on it.

Thanks, that's the first one I've seen that doesn't reference TMZ (though does reference "reports"), though I can't pull up TMZ's original article to compare and see. Still hoping it's not true though :(

That's #1

Who will be 2 & 3??

So sad- RIP Paul.

You'll still get o see it. Walker's death was a hoax, and no doubt the 'crash' in the Porsche GT was a stunt from the movie. Either some sick fux just decided to spread vile rumours, or they were under orders to do so, so that they could generate publicity for FF7.

yeah the picture says it all..no one was walking away from that accident whoever it was.

It seems legit, this is really sad, he was a young guy and I really liked the fast franchise

I can't get TMZ either, they scoop stories often. So probably true unless they got hacked.
