RIP.  Liked him in the role of Chekov in the 2 recent Star Trek movies (Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness)

Quote
Actor Anton Yelchin, known for his roles in "Star Trek" and "Alpha Dog," was killed early Sunday morning after getting pinned by his own car ... TMZ has learned.

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, 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.

Cops do not suspect foul play.
Yelchin was 27.

Looks like we get to see him one more time as Chekov in the upcoming Star Trek Beyond later this summer.

I wonder if he was getting his mail when his car slipped out of gear.

Sad to hear. Sounds like not even Mc Coy could've saved him.

Sounds like the jeep that killed him was in a recall to "to address a transmission design flaw".

He did a good job in a thankless role for Terminator: Salvation, too.  :'(
