Paul Walker ‘Fast & Furious 7’ Character Doesn’t Die; Revealing New Death Crash Autopsy

There have been a lot of twists and turns in the events following Paul Walker's tragic death in a car crash late last year. Walker and crew were reportedly only half way through shooting Fast & Furious 7 at the time of the accident. Universal has still released no official word how it will complete the film without the franchise’s biggest star, but word has trickled down from on high that Walker’s character Brian O’Conner does not die in the new film. This rumor surfaces following the release of Walker’s full autopsy. There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Paul Walker’s role in the new Fast and Furious film. It has been rumored that Paul’s younger brother Cody might stand in for his brother to help Universal complete Walker’s last blockbuster. A source close to the project told the Daily Mail that the company had reached out to Cody following the funeral: “Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul's death. They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody. They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on.” According to new rumors, they are going to need someone to fill in for Walker to get his character out of the film alive. The producers have decided to spare Walker’s character a tragic end, according to OK! Magazine: “The producers were certain they wanted to complete the film, but were not so sure how to deal with the elimination of Paul’s character, undercover agent Brian O’Conner. Now comes word the the screenwriters will have O'Connor retire in the film, rather than kill off the character.” Maybe he’ll even be in Fast and Furious 8.
