If they was drawn up from the fire then those pictures posted of him laying completely flat was doctored?
It's difficult to see what angle the extremities are in. From what I can see the limbs do have a bend to them. Walkers head is pulled back. The description of how the driver's body was position pretty much matches what the picture shows.
Pugilistic Stance
A ‘defensive’ position fancifully likened to that adopted by pugilists (boxers), which is typically seen in severely burned bodies, characterised by flexion of elbows, knees, hip, and neck, and clenching of hand into a fist; it is caused by high-temperatures in fire, resulting in muscle stiffening and shortening; it occurs even if the person was dead before the fire
LOL... CNN is trying to sell it off as the both of them bracing for impact, even though the reports explain what it means.

VALENCIA, CA-
Horrifying details have emerged from the autopsy of Paul Walker and the driver of the car they both died in.
Documents obtained by FOX411 state that Walker's friend and business partner Roger Rodas was driving his Porsche in excess of 100 mph when it crashed into a tree on Nov. 30, 2013.
The resulting inferno charred Walker's body so badly that no organs were suitable for transplant.
The autopsy stated that Walker died from the "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries," and that his body was found in a "pugilistic stance," as if he were bracing for impact.
Dozens of fractures are listed, including at least two that were caused by the intense heat.
Details on Rodas were similarly gruesome, stating that he was also horribly burned and that he had suffered a head injury that exposed his brain.
Walker starred in the "Fast and Furious" movie franchise, which has delayed its next installment until 2015 following Walker's death.
