The family of Paul Walker is planning a private funeral for the Fast & Furious star after the Los Angeles County coroner's office released his body to Forest Lawn Mortuaries on Tuesday, reports the Los Angeles Times .

Walker, 40, died Nov. 30[4] alongside friend Roger Rodas after the Porsche Carrera GT[5] Rodas was driving in Santa Clarita, Calif., careened into a light pole[6] and tree, then burst into flames.


An autopsy last week[7] confirmed Walker died of "traumatic and thermal injuries." Authorities say speed played a role in the crash.


A memorial at the crash site[8] Sunday drew thousands.


Also last week, detectives arrested a teenager[9] accused of stealing some wreckage from the Porsche. According to the Associated Press, a second man has surrendered in the case.


Authorities say Anthony Janow, 25, turned himself in at the San Fernando courthouse on Tuesday. He was booked and released on $60,000 bail.


Prosecutors say Janow and 18-year-old Jameson Witty stole a roof panel as the wreckage was being towed.


They were charged Monday with felony grand theft of personal property and two misdemeanors. They face up to 4½ years in jail if convicted.


Witty also is free on bail.
