Autopsy results of Paul Walker, who died in a car crash on Nov. 30, 2013, have confirmed that the Porsche Carrera GT he was travelling in at the time of the crash was going over 100 mph when it hit a tree.

The car was being driven by his pal and business partner Roger Rodas.

According to the documents obtained by Fox News, the 40-year-old actor's body was so badly charred in the resulting fire that no organs were suitable for transplant.

The autopsy asserted that the star of the 'Fast and Furious' franchise died from the combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries.

Also, Walker's body, which had endured dozens of fractures, was found in a "pugilistic stance" as if he were bracing for a collision.

Meanwhile, Rodas' autopsy stated that he was horribly burned and that a head injury had left his brain exposed.
