Death Of Cheryl’s Son Paul

Cheryl Crabtree Walker’s son Paul Walker’s life was cut short. He died in a single-vehicle collision on November 30, 2013, at age 40, in Santa Clarita, California, U.S. He was found dead along with his friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas in a burnt-out Porsche Carrera GT.

Paul Walker died from the combined effects of trauma and burns while Roger Rodas died of multiple trauma. Their bodies were burned beyond recognition. No alcohol or other drugs were found in either man’s system. Police found no evidence of drag racing.

An investigation was conducted and it was concluded that the car’s speed and the age of the tires were the primary reasons for the crash. The investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said it was the speed that killed him.

“Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Commander Mike Parker said in March 2014, per CNN.

The high-performance 2005 Porsche Carrera GT was going “between 80 and 93 mph at the time the car impacted a power pole and several trees,” the report said. The posted speed limit on the Santa Clarita, California, office park road was 45 mph.

Paul Walker’s friends, movie stars, and fans posted tributes to him on social media. His body was cremated and his ashes were buried in a non-denominational ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. His life was later chronicled in the documentary I Am Paul Walker, which was released on August 11, 2018.
