Dispatcher Tapes Reveal that Paul Walker was Dead on Arrival
Firefighters responding to the fiery crash that claimed Paul Walker’s life stated he was ‘dead on arrival’, newly-released emergency dispatch tapes have revealed.
The recordings emerged as his devastated mother, Cheryl, was pictured outside her Los Angeles home on Thursday – the first time she has been seen since her son and his friend died on Saturday.
In the tapes, which first appeared on TMZ, a firefighter speaks with 911 dispatcher and declares the actor dead almost immediately after he and other emergency responders arrive on the scene
‘One vehicle fully involved,’ says the firefighter, who arrived less than three minutes after the first 911 call about the crash. ‘We have confirmed two DOA… again, confirmed two fatalities.’

The firefighter adds that it is a ‘Code N’ incident, which means an event is newsworthy and needs to be handled delicately.
Walker’s friends on the scene had most likely informed firefighters that he was inside, TMZ reported.
