Paul Walker Alive: Truth Behind The Rumors
As miraculous and joyous as it would be, unfortunately this rumor doesn’t seem to have any legs. Paul’s death was sadly confirmed by his rep on Nov. 30, and his family posted a tragic message also confirming it soon after on Facebook:
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
We may all wish that Paul was still alive, but unfortunately that doesn’t change the fact that Paul has passed away. Besides the rep and family’s sad statements, an autopsy has also been released, making it clear that there is no truth to the rumor.
Instead of making up rumors that only reinforce how sad Paul’s death is, we all just have to try to accept the truth and move on, while keeping the actor in our hearts forever
Let the dead Rest in Peace y'all rumour carriers
