| Paul Walker dies in car accident at 40-years-old |
Fast & The Furious star Paul Walker has died at the age of 40, according to reports from Variety magazine and TMZ.
Paul Walker allegedly died after being involved in a “single car accident.” He wasn’t the only one, another person, unidentified at this point, was also in the vehicle with him at the time of the accident. They died as well. (UPDATE: TMZ says the actor was a passenger, and his friend was driving.)
At this time we don’t know where the car accident occurred, or what the circumstances were. (Update: The car accident happened in Santa Clarita, CA.)
A shame, way too young to die. R.I.P. Paul Walker.
Paul’s death also confirmed via his representatives on Twitter:

Although it appears to be truth, some people believe Paul Walker’s death has been a hoax. I cannot confirm this yet, but am looking into it. If it IS a death hoax, it has been one of the most successful yet.
(Update: CNN has now reported that Paul Walker is dead. Much better source than TMZ, so, I am sorry, this terrible news appears to be true. Also, more at ABC.)
