Paul Walker’s autopsy report placed on security hold

Los Angeles - Those looking for answers about the crash that ended Paul Walker's life so abruptly on Saturday may have to wait a while. 

According to an article published by US Weekly the L.A. County Coroner's Office has completed the late actor's autopsy but the information has been put on lockdown.

Lieutenant Fred Corral was quoted by the publication as saying that the case has "been placed on security hold"  and that “no information is to be released on either decedent at this time”. 

Walker and his friend and fellow fast-car enthusiast Roger Rodas died on Saturday when the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT they were travelling in smashed into a light pole and tree. The two had taken what was expected to be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas' custom car shop in the Southern California community of Valencia, northwest of Los Angeles.

Walker starred in all but one of the six Fast & Furious blockbusters. He had been on break from shooting the latest installment; Universal Pictures has not said what it plans to do with Fast & Furious 7, currently slated for a July release.
