Walker died in a car crash on Nov. 30, 2013. He was 40.

\"Furious 7\" was in the middle of filming at the time of Walker's death, but thanks to the assistance of digital effects and Walker's brothers, Caleb and Cody, the movie was completed. The 2015 film is the highest-grossing of the entire \"Fast & Furious\" franchise.

Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, was not killed off after the actor's death, but was instead retired at the end of \"Furious 7\" in an emotional send-off set to Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's \"See You Again.\"
