Paul Walker Initially Survived Crash - Cause of His Death Revealed

The cause of Paul Walker's death was revealed today - he survived the crash on Saturday, only to be burned alive one minute later when the vehicle exploded in flames.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Wednesday that Walker, 40, died from the 'combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries.'

The ruling indicates that the actor was severely injured, but still alive after the collision. He died only after the car caught fire - which came up to 60 seconds after the $500,000 Porsche Carrera GT smashed into a tree and a light post.
