Weeks after the shocking passing of Hollywood actor Paul Walker, a new autopsy provides horrific details on what injuries he sustained in the publicized Los Angeles crash.
The late actor’s autopsy surfaced online Friday (January 3) afternoon.
According to the report … obtained by TMZ … Walker’s body was laying supine in the passenger seat in a “pugilistic stance” — that’s a defensive position, as if he were bracing himself for impact. He had multiple fractures throughout his body, including his jaw, collarbone, and left upper arm. There were also various ribs and pelvic fractures. The report concludes Walker died from “combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries” sustained from the Nov. 30 crash in Santa Clarita, CA. According to the report, the L.A. County Coroner is preserving portions of Paul’s organs in a jar — sources tell us tissues are kept for a certain period of time in case of lawsuits. (TMZ)
