I know I am probably sLATE on this, but I just saw it on AMC's FB page.
Here is the article I just read so you don't have to search for it:
Actor one of two victims of fiery single-car crash; Universal 'heartbroken' over loss
Variety Staff
"Paul Walker, star of Universal Pictures’ “Fast and the Furious” movie franchise, died Saturday following a single-car accident in Valencia, Calif., Variety has confirmed. He was 40.
“All of us at Universal are heartbroken,” the studio said in a statement issued Saturday night. “Paul was truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years, and this loss is devastating to us, to everyone involved with the ‘Fast and Furious’ films, and to countless fans. We send our deepest and most sincere condolences to Paul’s family.”
Walker’s official Twitter and Facebook pages also confirmed his death, which was first reported by TMZ. Condolences from fellow celebs poured in via social media in the hours after his death.
Note: This following paragraph is from his FB page: It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences. - #TeamPW
According to Walker’s official Facebook page, he was the passenger in a Porsche driven by a friend following an event for his charity Reach Out Worldwide to benefit Philippines typhoon survivors.
A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department could not confirm the identities of the two victims nor confirm the cause of the accident.
Authorities said they responded to the crash at about 3:30 p.m. PT in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop and found the car engulfed in flames. The victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The sheriff’s department said the L.A. County Coroner’s Office would determine the victims’ identities and cause of death.
Walker was scheduled to star in “Brick Mansions” for Relativity. The studio released a statement late Saturday that read: “We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of Paul Walker. Paul was an incredibly talented artist, devoted philanthropist and friend. Our hearts go out to his family and our thoughts and prayers are with them.”
Walker appeared as LAPD detective and later FBI officer Brian O’Conner in all but one of the successful “Fast and the Furious” movies. His other credits include “Varsity Blues,” “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Takers.”
Walker was a highly sought-after leading man in action and indie dramas. Among his upcoming features awaiting release are Relativity Media’s “Brick Mansions” and “Vehicle 19.” “Hours,” a drama set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is due out Dec. 13 from Lionsgate’s Pantelion Films.
A native of Glendale, Calif., Walker got his start as a youth in commercials and TV series ranging from “Charles in Charge” to “Who’s the Boss” to “The Young and the Restless.” He was a protege of famed talent agent Ed Limato, and began to make his mark in features in the late 1990s with roles in 1998′s “Pleasantville” and 1999′s “Varsity Blues” before breaking out with the first “Fast and the Furious” pic in 2001.
Among Walker’s other notable pics were 2006′s “Running Scared” and “Flags of Our Fathers.”
Most recently, Walker was in production on the seventh installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise — an eerie reality given the nature of his death. The street racing franchise is Universal’s most valuable active pic franchise. Walker’s death will undoubtedly leave a significant void in the pic now in production and subsequent installments.
Among his survivors are a teenage daughter, Meadow."

Apparently, The Craziest Videos FB page has video of the car on fire... I want to say it fake... but I'm not so sure. If it is real, the guys filming and the people standing around are ( insert most vile insult here ) for just standing around and not even trying ANYTHING!!!

He has a couple of movies coming out...
Wonder how they are gonna work this out in F&F7... are they gonna kill his character, or cast a look a like / use his stunt double if he had one, or are they gonna write his character off in script?
