Chris Baker's Final Photo

TMZ has obtained a photo of Chris Baker just moments before he boarded the Learjet that crashed on takeoff.

Baker sent the cell phone photo at 11:22 ET, 31 minutes before the plane crashed. Baker e-mailed the photo to a friend with the text, "Go hard on the block."

Baker, Travis Barker's assistant, was one of the four people who died in the crash. The video of the jet was shot by Baker before he boarded.

91. aww that's too sad! He probably was amazed by the jet. So sad that would be his last picture. Rest In Peace to all who perished.

93. Kimberly.. I'd hafta disagree completely with ya on that one.. Shanna is manipulative and extremely conceited, I can completely understand why he wouldn't be with her, and can't imagine that almost losing his life would make him see her in any other light. He's good people, I think he'll find himself a nice girl who doesn't accuse him of messin around every other week and spend every cent she could squeeze outta the guy.

94. Am I the only one who is wondering who the hell these so-called "celebrities" are here? I mean, who is Chris Baker anyway? The way this is covered, you would think it was somebody who really meant something to the world. Let's move on, people...

99. First of all, this picture and video are FAKE! Look at his hat (its cropped!).. this picture of him was photoshopped onto
the background of a Leer jet. The Video anyone could have shot.

TMZ... very very disapointing! Have you nothing better to do?

Leave them alone. They are suffering enough! Let him Rest in Peace please!

101. PuffDaddy, if you are answering my question about what "go hard on the block" means, then thank you! I thought it meant something like that but just hadn't heard it before. If you weren't answering me but rather just handing out some good advice for the day, then thanks for that too!! ;-)

102. dont know who this dude was...can't say he is in my thoughts

103. HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT THE TOP OF HIS HAT IS VERY FLAT, LIKE IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THAT FLAT IN REALITY ? THE TOP OF THE HAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS CROPPED BUT WHY ? THE TOP OF HIS HAT LOOKS LIKE IT IS DISAPPEARING INTO PART OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE PLANE. ITS VERY WEIRD. WHAT IS THE REASON ? ITS SO STRANGE THAT YOU CAN SEE THE OUTSIDE OF THE PLANE WHERE THE VERY TOP OF HIS HAT SHOULD BE, IT PROVES THE HAT WAS NOT DISAPPEARING INTO A SHADOW OR ANYTHING. AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TMZ LOGO THAT IS LIGHTLY SUPERIMPOSED ON THE PHOTO EITHER. WEIRD.

104. it's so weird how he video recorded the plan almost as if he new something was going to happen. At least i think it's ironic, i mean who video records their plane? So sad he is dead now, he was so young. I am still very shock Travis and DJ AM made it out alive. WOW........I honestly believe it was a miracle..
