It's hard to believe it's been one week since Paul Walker died in a car accident.

The 40-year-old actor and his friend, Roger Rodas, tragically passed away on Saturday, Nov. 30.

After attending a Reach Out WorldWide charity event, Rodas and Walker went for a drive in a Porsche Carrera GT and never came back. Their vehicle struck a light pole, two trees and a speed limit sign. When police arrived on the scene in Santa Clarita, Calif., deputies found the vehicle engulfed in flames. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Los Angeles County coroner's office confirmed that Rodas, 38, died of multiple traumatic injuries, and Walker, 40, died of the combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries.

This wasn't the only story that had people talking. Check out our top five stories of the week.

"The last conversation we had, I sat there, I looked at him and I said, 'You know, I love you very much, love all of you. And we're all very, very close. If anything was to happen to anybody in this family, it would be a rough deal,'" Walker's father told E! News exclusively.
