"I can see from the crash investigation reports that both Paul and Roger were wearing their seatbelts and that they were securely fastened. All the car's airbags had also been deployed correctly," Dr. Michael Hunter shares in a sneak peek of REELZ's upcoming documentary Autopsy: Paul Walker.

"Yet Roger Rodas' autopsy report reveals he died instantly of severe blunt head, neck and chest trauma as a result of multiple impacts," he continues.

Hunter also notes that while Walker suffered several severe fractures to his body, including his ribs, pelvis, arms, jaw and spine, "his autopsy suggests that before the car was engulfed in flames, he was still clinging to life."
