Anton Yelchin - New Chekov RIP

That would be horrific to watch.
That's grim viewing for the cops, but I guess they have to review it.
Not Chekov!
Great actor and enjoyed him in the latest Star Trek movies. Very sad news.
It'll be interesting to see what they do if they continue to make more Star Trek movies and how they deal with Chekov not being in them (as I highly doubt they'll re-cast)
R.I.P.

some pics on TMZ of his drive etc. Suggest hes going out gates fail to close (look electric)
he jumps out of car with it in neutral and it then rolls backwards into him. There is a camera over watching the gates
"Anton Yelchin's body was pinned with such force, it bent a metal security gate leading to his home ... and photos obtained by TMZ show the fury of impact.
As we reported, Yelchin's driveway is on a steep incline from the house to the street. It appears the "Star Trek" star had just left his home and cleared the security gate ... but for some reason it appears he got out and left the vehicle in neutral.
Yelchin's 5,000 pound Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled backwards and pinned him against the gate with such force, it bent the metal."

I'm genuinely gutted to hear this. For a start, what a horrifying way to die. Secondly, his acting in Odd Thomas was excellent. I love the OT books and was, frankly, rather worried when I saw they had made the first into a movie. Then I saw it and was blown away because it was just like my mental image of the book. I have been keeping my fingers crossed that after Star Trek was done that maybe they'd do some more. And now this.
A loss to cinema and an incalculable loss to his friends and family. RIP.

Wow I am massive shocked after read CNN page.
As a huge Star Trek fan, Anton Yelchin did fantastic actor played Chekov.
I wondered what will happen to the character in Star Trek 4? Maybe he would just mysteriously vanished and old Chekvo showed up from alternative universe in switchover.
RIP Anton Yelchin/New Chekvo.

It's the 21st century and a 27 year old man doesn't know how to use the brakes on his car.
Low quality bait

Doesn't change anything. Always engage the handbrake when your car is parked. That's 'Driving 101.'
I CAN DO THIS! I CAN DO THIS!

He was a real asset to the Star Trek franchise. Such tragic news.
I only saw him in Star Trek, but he came across as a great Chekhov in a light hearted kind of way.

RIP
