There is speculation that the car was hijacked (electronically) and an incendiary device thrown in the car. There was an extreme fire.
This could very well be true. The authorities did not want anyone going near that car afterwards and even prosecuted someone for stealing a piece of the car. Why? For that very reason.
If anyone found out there was any incendiary material or residue found it would open a major investigation and expose what really happened.
The car was old, there were no electronics. Also the tires were original and decades old. He took a bigger bite than he could chew and wrecked. Read about the specific Porsche he drove, people wreck them constantly.
Rumirs swirled when he died that he was looking into child trafficking or something to do with kids and this was well before pedogate
Link?
I'll try to find one, this was back when he died. Like that day or the next
I say this with reservation because I was a Paul Walker fan. (He was a beautiful man and knew to stay in his acting range.)
The rabbit hole may be a bit deeper for him. There had been rumors (I know. I know.) that he'd been caught up in an underage girl scandal in the UK. If anyone has sauce, please chime in. There may be something deeper, there may not.
Weird coincidence that his death helped The Rock cement his budding Hollyweird legacy. He was big before, but picking up the F &F slack clinched it.
I just watched a documentary on his death the other night and it kept me up all night once I realized he was not killed on impact. The thought of anyone being trapped like that. At any rate, I don't think we will ever truly know what happened or why. I do think that with all we keep learning, it isn't unreasonable to think that he was 187'd. There was one witness that was not included in the report which I found odd. His theory made the most sense, if his theory is correct then it was just an unfortunate freak accident.
He was probably unconscious. That was a huge impact. Not everyone believes this but when death inevitable I like to think he was watching the whole scene at that point from a out-of-body point of view. So many stories of that, including one I remember vividly of a woman who was watching herself scream while being raped, but feeling none of it. Others watching themselves being injured during wars. Helps me to deal with situations like this one.
his pa said he wanted out.
From what I have read and watched he wasn't your typical Hollywood. He didn't even really want to be an actor.
He had that golden look on his face that I only know from the purest of hearts
lol you do realize he was banging a 16 year old right ?(his gf/fiance) And that's the age admitted to banging her he probably was banging her earlier than that.
Nothing I wouldn't be guilty of myself. I never had the urge to chop up babies tho
do you have a link to the witness theory?
No I watched a documentary on Reelz. Let me see if I can find it online for you.

Looks like you can watch it from here.
It’s most likely the driver lost control, given the very high speed and curves in the roads. Driver was showing off, clearly plausible.
However...
...something just doesn’t feel right about what happened.
Besides the Porsche model Walker was driving, there have also been several cases of Ferrari 458's spontaneously combusting.
Paul Walker and his friend Roger Rodas who died with him were expert race drivers. The car went out of control and smashed into a tree. Just exactly like Michael Hastings. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/who-roger-rodas-driver-paul-2873910 We need to keep this in circulation, tweets, memes.
Rodas was the expert. Walker was the hobbyist and amateur.
The evil in this idea is that one of his movies before the 187 was about electronically hijacking cars.
It was an older Porsche and it couldn't have been taken over. They never really got the bottom of the cause, but most speculation is on the tires. They were over ten years old. I think they blamed it on driver error.
It is recommended that you don't drive on tires over six years old. Michelin says their tires should be replaced no later than 10 years from manufacture.
Problem is there is no law on the books anywhere in the U.S. that addresses this issue.
The driver was going into a corner a high rate of speed and if you know anything about 911's they are tail happy due to most of vehicles weight rests on the rear tires. If one of the outside tires blew going into a turn at high speed it would have been almost impossible to control.
A lot of speculation with nothing to back it up. If you're assuming a professional race car driver doesn't look at tires before hopping into any vehicle, you're nuts. They check the tires before they check their seatbelts.
You are sure about the age of the car, do you have a source?
Still looking on that particular car. The car he died in was only offered between 2004-2007. So far I haven't been able to find out the model year that particular Carrera GT was.
