High angle shot of hand, then camera pans across him and twists upwards to some height. During this, mournful, haunting ‘Gran Torino’ theme(piano and male voice) is heard.
As the camera rises above Walt, we see that he is lying in a ‘crucifix’ position. He has ‘sacrificed’ himself. It is almost as if the rising camera is lifting with Walt’s ‘spirit’ to heaven.
The sequence ends with the flashing lights of a police car attending the scene shortly afterwards.
