'Star Trek' actor Anton Yelchin dead at 27

geez. RIP. Terrific work in his movies.

 

Freak accident. RIP he was entertaining in Star Trek. One minute you are living your life just like everyone else and the next minute you are gone and your loved ones get blindsided. Unfortunately this is how death comes for most people.

 

Sad. RIP

 

Horrible. On his way to rehearsals. RIP

His performance as Chekov was one of the reasons I thought they couldn't have done a better job of casting the new crew.

"I can do zat!" I can do zat!"

In b4 someone comes in this thread and says, "People die everyday bruh, why was he so special?"

 

RIP

Although I dont think I quite understood what exactly happened given the very brief description of the accident?

 

It sounds like the car was on neutral, rolled down and pinned him

 

i remember enjoying him in Charlie Bartlett and his appearances as Cheryl's cousin in Curb Your Enthusiasm

I throughly enjoyed his performances in Green Room and Like Crazy. Hoping this is a hoax.

 

confirmed by the publicist, the police, and his friends and family.

 

Good lord. What a tragic loss for his family, his friends, and for all of us. A real talent, who was perfectly cast in the Star Trek reboot as young ensign Pavel Chekov. He will be hard to replace. May he rest in peace.

 

I'm trying to figure out how he died. How does your car start rolling backwards on your driveway and be on a collision at the same time.

 

RIP.

Can't imagine how it could happen either. The car must be rolling down the driveway at a ridiculous speed if he didn't see it coming.

 

For those of you wondering how this could have happened, go look at the pics of his driveway and security gate on TMZ. It's very sad but he got out of his car with it in neutral and then his car killed him with a force so strong it bent his gate.

I once saw my Dad do the same stupid thing but his car rolled down a long driveway incline and ended up in the house's front yard across the street. I was thinking while watching it that it was a miracle no one was killed. His car didn't hit anything by some miracle. This guy...not nearly as lucky.

Nobody should exit a non-running or running car without it in "PARK" in most situations. It's "Car Driving 101". Not sure what he was thinking? Too many things on his mind I guess. Maybe he was tired?

I'm starting to wonder if maybe his car was loosely in "PARK" and slipped into "NEUTRAL"? That would be even more freakish. I don't see how he would have had time to get behind his Jeep without it starting to roll...unless he ran out and then didn't see it behind him coming at him?

 

Maybe his back was facing the car and he was at the gate.

 

Seems to be conflicting info of time of accident. TMZ says his friends found him at 1am, hours after he was supposed to show for rehearsal. I'll go with that. Maybe 1:30am was the time of the police report.

Yelchin's friends became alarmed because he was supposed to meet them hours earlier for a rehearsal. They went to his San Fernando Valley home at around 1 AM and found him pinned between his car and a brick mailbox pillar, which was attached to a security gate.

Law enforcement tells us the engine was running when his body was discovered, and the car was in neutral. The driveway was on a fairly steep incline. It's unclear why he got out of the car.​
