Title: Anton Yelchin (Pavel Chekov) dies in freak accident
Post by: Super Firebug on June 20, 2016, 05:51:23 AM

Actor Anton Yelchin, who played Ensign Chekov in the recent Star Trek movies, was found dead at his home early Sunday morning.

His body was found pinned between a brick mailbox, on his property, and his car, which was running and in "neutral". (The property, apparently, slopes down toward the street, allowing the car to roll away from the house, and toward the mailbox.) He was 27.

(Always shift into "park", and set the parking brake, when leaving your car. :/ )

I just heard about that... what a bizarre accident. 

Damn. Charlie Bartlett, rest in peace, sir.

This could've been the problem.

This is a shame, I liked him in the reboot Star Trek. Wish his family well :)

He was great in the "Fright Night" remake, and a quirky little 'horror' movie called Odd Thomas, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_Thomas_(film) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_Thomas_(film)), too.  I really enjoyed his acting - a life cut far too short.   :(
