Post Mortem Following Death of Actor Paul Walker Reveals No Drink or Drugs Present
(PRWEB UK) 2 February 2014 -- When the death of actor Paul Walker was announced on the 1st December 2013, the nation was left shocked and grieved. Paul was the passenger in his friend’s car when he was involved in the fatal car crash and both died within seconds of the accident.
The well-known heartthrob ironically played a leading part in the Fast and the Furious films, which are about illegal car racing and has grown to become the biggest franchise for Universal Studios, with revenue of over $2.3 billion.
A recent post mortem carried out has cleared up any suggestions that Paul and/or his friend were under the influence when the crash happened, both showing no signs of having drink or drugs present in their system.

The cause of the death of the 40 year old actor and his friend was due to the speed they were driving at, which could have been easily avoided if they had been cautious on the road. Sticking to the speed limit may, in this case, have saved the lives of the two men. It can be easy to get carried away but it is important to always stay alert and aware of driving speed. Other ways of helping to ensure you drive slower are to plan your journey prior to setting off and to ensure you have plenty of time.
This example of reckless driving shows that none of us are as invincible as we may think; even celebrities can meet this unfortunate fate if they don’t take proper care on the road.
As the news of the post mortem went to press, a spokesperson for the leading law firm, Accident Advice Helpline, spoke of the importance of taking care on the road at all times.
