New factual information has surfaced surrounding the death of Paul Walker

An official autopsy report has been completed by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office. While the full report is yet to be made public, an official statement from the office cites injuries occurring immediately after his crash in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT as the official cause of demise.

The driver of the supercar, Roger Rodas, is reported to have died of the same cause: primarily traumatic burn injuries. A toxicology report remains pending.

No concrete word had previously been passed down regarding the future of "Fast & Furious 7," which had been in production for three months by the time of Walker's death. There had been some reports that the film would be completed despite the loss of its leading man.
