RIP Anton Yelchin.

Died in a freak accident.

Really sucks, I liked him in the new Trek movies.
Probably pulled the e-brake and thought that would be enough....and then it wasn't.

[PM2K]

A real tragedy...

Especially when you consider the fact that this is Star Trek' s 50th anniversary and Star Trek: Beyond comes out next month.

Saw it on Twitter while laying down, took a while to figure out what the hell happened

Sad, and jesus, stupid. If it was a standard, yeah putting on the brake while running in neutral. But who does that with a automatic? Seriously? Raise your hands, ANYONE , if you park or stop your car or truck, and then GET OUT OF IT without putting it in Park??

What a waste

[boots in quicksand]

Let's not concentrate on the how or why.
Let us remember him from the movies and shows we've seen him in, and maybe go back and watch those movies again.
I remember him as Chekov from the last 2 and 1 up coming Star Trek movies, so I'm going to make my dedication like so,

To the brave crew of the starship USS Enterprise, my sincere condolences on the loss of your valued crew member. May he rest in peace.

I see it all the time.......people in the US have this general misconception about the e-brake also being a "parking" brake. 99% of the time (like when you're on level ground) it will function as such just fine. The other 1% it holds just long enough for you to stop paying attention to the car.......and then this happens.

It's hard not to find a shitty way to die.
This is a particularly ordinary way to go though.

I did like his acting style and portrayals and in an era of overt narcissism his more restrained acting style will be missed.
