Sunglasses that Fast & Furious star Paul Walker allegedly wore on the day that he died in November are going up for auction, along with other items that were supposedly recovered from the crash site.
The lot, which is hitting the auction block on BidAMI.com, includes the sunglasses, a fire extinguisher used to try to save Walker’s life and pieces of debris from the car, reports The New York Daily News.
Kieta, an acquisition specialist for BidAMI.com told the Daily News that they found pictures of Walker on the day he died that show that he was wearing the sunglasses in the lot. She said that they also got a “statement from the person who obtained them,” but she wouldn’t say who the seller is.
According to TMZ, the seller said that he was at the crash site on Nov. 30, the day Walker died. After the wreckage was cleared, the sunglasses were still there and he didn’t connect them to Walker until he saw other Nov. 30 photos of the actor.
Kieta, who didn’t give the Daily News her last name, said that the site did crash after the auction launched today. However, it has only reached $1,572. She added that the seller “wanted to do this for good, not anything disrespectful.” The site does claim that “a portion of the proceeds will benefit savethemustangs.org, one of the main charities BidAMI partners with.”
After Walker’s tragic death, two men were actually arrested for stealing pieces of the car Walker’s friend, Roger Rodas, was driving. Rodas also died in the crash.
