    Would be a first for TMZ if they were caught up in a hoax.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,586 ✭✭✭✭kneemos

    Could be contagious. His website has crashed too. www.paulwalker.com



    I'm sorry. Hopefully not true but can't find too much info online.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭Mint Aero


    Actually wiki says he's dead now. Must be true.

    Wikipedia wouldn't say he's dead unless he is. Very young R.I.P. :(

    I'd trust the Daily Mail more than TMZ.

    The reference to his death on Wiki has been removed.

    Looking more and more like a hoax.

    Thankfully.

    I trust After Hours more than I trust either of those.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    Not a hoax, friends have confirmed it


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 18,184 ✭✭✭✭Lapin


    Death now being confirmed by Variety Magazine and NBC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    A guy works or worked for TMZ has posted on Twitter that they confirmed it with his Rep. Username is ryansatin (on my phone so can't link, sorry).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    Yeah ABC and various other sites/sources have confirmed it too. Devastated if this is true. Always loved him in the Fast movies. Seemed like a good guy as well. RIP.


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    ABC News here in the US are saying he's died now. More credible the most of the sources up to now.

    The people who run his official Facebook page confirmed it. Was attending a charity event and died alongside a friend of his. Always liked Walker, he was no great thespian but he was likeable and could deliver a decent performance when given a good script to work from.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭Festy


    Terrible news

    RIP Paul :(

    You do know they were just films right?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    Yeah his official facebook and twitter have posted confirming it. Damn. Such a shame. Heart goes out to his friends and family. He just started filming for the new fast as well. Awful news.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭Festy


    From his official Facebook 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

    I'd trust the Daily Mail more than TMZ.

    TMZ may have some dubious journalistic standards and their invasive methods of getting a story sometimes leave a lot to be desired, (although they're definitely not alone here when it comes to reporting showbiz and celebrity news).

    But when it comes to breaking stories like this, they have a 100% record of accuracy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,129 ✭✭✭✭expectationlost


    so he was attending a chairty event to help people in the philippines and was taking people out for rides in his fast car and ended up dieing with a filipino who was in the car with him

    Other stories are saying he was the passenger though.

    Nevermind, I guess he was the driver http://www.businessinsider.com/paul-walker-dead-at-40-2013-11 ....hard to know what to believe at this stage.

    It was a hoax yesterday, but not today.

    Fairly ironic that he dies while showing off his new porsche to a friend.

    Sad stuff all the same, and too young to die. Condolences to the unnamed passenger and their family as well.

    Such a waste of life. RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,812 ✭✭✭FortuneChip


    Only watched the 6th one recently.
    They're not Oscar winners, but they're damned entertaining heist movies, and have improved dramatically over the last few installments.

    Very sad loss.
    RIP

    I always thought it was a shame that the F&F movies moved away from the grass-roots type street-racing of the first film and more towards super-cars, gangs, explosions and stuff.

    Anyway, rest in peace Paul.

    His official Facebook page's latest status says he was a passenger.

    Given the way this story has broke, I wouldn't rush to any source until the dust settles a bit.

    Although his official Facebook page is probably more reliable than anything else and thats what the people who run that are claiming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    I find it kinda funny though that when you go onto his facebook page there is no mention of it but if you like his fb page the story comes up in your news stream.

    Still not 100% convinced on this.

    Theres pictures on the web of the crash,no hoax.

    Strange, TMZ and a few other sites said it was his new porsche and he was taking it out for a spin with friends.

    Twitter can be hacked ya know.

    Also as for pictures, that could be any car or a movie still.

    Not convinced.

    They are quoting from his facebook page that doesnt have anything on it when you click into the actual page.

    The stuff from the studio is more believable but who knows.
