It might sound as a shocking coincidence but a website had carried an article stating that the 40-year-old actor had died on Friday whereas Paul Walker met with an accident and passed away on Saturday.
The hoax is believed to have emerged from a parody news site, MediaMass.net. They even quoted one of Walker's representatives as denying the report.

Responding to the hoax, Walker's representative said: "He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the internet."
Rumours of Paul Walker's death spread on Friday when a social networking page 'R.I.P. Paul Walker' got almost one million likes.
Just a bad fate gone completely wrong, Paul Walker, the star of "Fast & Furious" movie series, died on Saturday, Nov.30th in a car crash, north of Los Angeles, his publicist said. He was 40.
