Paul Walker Death: 'Fast & Furious 7' Star Paul Walker Crash Site Items Up for Sale; Fire Extinguisher, Paul Walker's Sunglasses Among Items To Be Auctioned for Charity

Paul Walker Death: Items that were found at the scene of Paul Walker's death are being sold in an online auction. The 'Fast and the Furious' actor and his friend Roger Rodas died on November 30 when the car they were travelling in lost control and crashed. The items were allegedly found by somone who stopped to help at the crash scene in Santa Clarita, California.

The unnamed seller put the items from Paul Walker's death site up for auction on the site BidAMI.com. Among the items being sold is a fire extinguisher used at the crash, debris from the accident and the sunglasses worn by Paul Walker on the day he died.

The listing for the Paul Walker death site items states: "The owner of this lot offering was nearby and on scene for information and assistance with officers and reporters. Once the site investigation was cleared with car debris hauled away and tape taken down, a responding officer allowed him as well as others back to the public site. The only thing left was a charred ivy brush, minor residual debris, a knocked down pole and tree. As the consigner walked the scene in disbelief and grief, he found a pair of sunglasses nearby in the ivy. After showing one of the officers, he was waved off. The glasses were dirty so he wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his pocket. He also found some residual debris nearby which he kept in memorandum."

Kieta from BidAMI explained how the Paul Walker items were authenticated: "We photo-matched them to the one's Paul was wearing [that day]. And of course the statement from the person who obtained them."

There were four bids for the Paul Walker items when the site crashed on Thursday. The highest bid at the time was $1,572 for the Maui Jim sunglasses.

Kieta justified the auction, saying the seller "wanted to do good, not anything disrespectful." The seller expressed their intentions to donate a percentage of the profit.

The spokesperson said "Paul was about charity. When he died he was at a charity event."

On November 30, Paul Walker and his longtime friend Roger Rodas died in a car explosion in Southern California. According to the report, the car crashed into a pole and several trees on Hercules Street in Santa Clarita. The force of the crash was so strong that the car continued spinning after the driver's side hit a light pole and tree. The car continued spinning until Walker's passenger side slammed into another tree and burst into flames. Walker had been in Santa Clarita for a fundraiser benefiting his charity Reach Out Worldwide.

According to reports, Universal Pictures is set to will resume shooting "Fast and Furious 7" in April. The production took a hiatus starting after Paul Walker's tragic death. In Fast and Furious 7, Paul Walker plays Brian O'Connor, a former FBI agent-turned-criminal. Walker played the on-screen sidekick to Vin Diesel's character of Dominic Toretto.
