"After plenty of speculation surrounding the late Paul Walker&amp;apos;s death, CNN reports that the L.A. County Coroner&amp;apos;s Office has released a statement regarding the Nov. 30 crash and the star&amp;apos;s official cause of death. Walker, who was 40 at the time of his death, passed away due to a combination of &amp;quot;traumatic and thermal injuries.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThis means that the impact of the crash did not solely kill the star, but the collision combined with the resulting fire ultimately ended his life. The driver, Walker&amp;apos;s friend Roger Rodas, died upon impact and burning was not listed as a factor in his death.&amp;#xA0;\r\nToxicology results for both men will be available in six to eight week and the Medical Examiner has ruled both deaths to be an accident.&amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe friends were driving a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT after attending a charity event when they collided with a lamp post and the car burst into flames.&amp;#xA0;\r\nSince his death, the star&amp;apos;s family, costars, friends, and fans have banded together to celebrate his life. Other stars we&amp;apos;ve lost this year.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Paul Walker&amp;apos;s family appreciates the outpouring of love and goodwill from his many fans and friends,&amp;quot; the Walker family said in an official statement. &amp;quot;They have asked, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, that donations please be made to Paul&amp;apos;s charity Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW). Donations can easily be made through their website at http://www.ROWW.org/.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
