Paul Walker Laid to Rest & his brother Cody Asked To Replace Paul In ''Fast & Furious 7'' Remaining Scenes.

 


Paul Walker was buried on Saturday after a private funeral service in Los Angeles, according to reports.

The Fast & Furious star, who died in a fiery car crash on Nov. 30 that also killed his friend and business partner Roger Rodas, was cremated and his remains were interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills.

The funeral service for the 40-year-old actor was an intimate gathering for his family and close friends, including his father Paul Walker Sr., his mother Cheryl Walker and his brothers Caleb Walker and Cody Walker, according to eonline.com. A second memorial service is reportedly being planned and will be attended by his Fast & Furious cast mates and crew.

Walker's body was released to his family earlier this week after the coroner completed an autopsy, which revealed that the actor, who had a 15-year-old daughter, died as a result of traumatic and thermal injuries sustained in the crash that happened during a charity event. An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.

Thousands of fans have paid tribute to Walker at the scene of the crash in Valencia, Calif., laying flowers, candles, notes and toys at a makeshift memorial and staging a slow-moving car and motorcycle procession past the spot.

 

And in a poignant tribute to the star, Paul Walker’s younger brother Cody, 25, who has worked as a movie stuntman, has been asked by Fast & Furious 7 producers to step in and film the final scenes of the movie, which has been shutdown following the actor’s tragic passing on Nov. 30.

 

“Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul’s death,” a source close to the production

exclusively tells MailOnline.

  The insider adds, “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.”

 

Paul, the oldest of five siblings, starred as undercover cop turned illegal street racer, Brian O’Conner, in five of the six movies.

Cody is yet to make a decision, but the source says he’d mainly be used for shots from behind and at a distance if he accepts.
