Default Paul Walker dead at 40

Apparently....

Paul Walker has died at the age of 40 after he was involved in a single-car accident and explosion on Saturday (November 30) in Southern California, according to TMZ.

The Fast and the Furious actor was in a Porsche when the driver lost control and slammed into a post or tree in Santa Clarita. The car then burst into flames. Paul and another person who was in the car were both killed.

TMZ broke today's death story, and they seem to have a way with breaking these stories.

But what are the odds of him dying a day after a hoax had him dying?

Unfortunately it's real.

@BumbleWard his rep is my riding friend. I saw her this morning. Trying to reach her now. Praying it's a hoax.

@BumbleWard Not a hoax. What a tragedy. So very sad.

Well the hoax article website is dated December 1, 2013 and says they are in Washington. I don't trust any news organization who can't figure out what day it is.
