Both deaths have been ruled an accident, while a toxicology report is still pending on both cases and is expected to be completed in six to eight weeks.
This is also the first time both Walker and Rodas have been formally identified as the two fatalities from the Santa Clarita accident Saturday. Walker and Rodas were both killed when the Porsche Carerra GT they were driving crashed into a pole.
According to the police report, the Porsche Carrera was already in flames when authorities arrived to the scene Saturday, and the victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
On Monday night, Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel visited the site of his co-star and close friend's fatal car accident, and also showed his appreciation for fans who have been showing up to mourn the 40-year-old star's tragic death.
"I just wanted to say to all of you, if my brother was here right now and he saw all the love that you are bringing here, if he could see for himself that all of you have showed up to show my brother love, at this hard time ... and the family gets to see all of you show the love that you've shown Paul, it's going to stay with me forever," he said. "I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for coming down here, and showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciated him."
"Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers. At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise," the studio said in a statement Wednesday. "We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."
