He played Chekov in the new Star Trek movies.

He was pinned between his car and the mailbox. His car was in neutral and apparently he has a steep inclined driveway at his house.

What a shitty way to go.

Must have been checking the mail and forgot to engage the parking brake?

Shouldn't have bypassed the inertial dampeners.

I am horrible.




Really, the guy just died and you're posting this joke.

"Security gate authorization code, 9-5-wictor wictor 2."

"Authorization code not recognized!"

Sucks. The kid did a pretty damned good job as Chekov.

Keep it respectful people.

That club is generally considered to be filled with drug related deaths or other deaths related to risky lifestyles. Checking your suburban mailbox near your nice house doesn't really fit.

That really sucks, he's years younger than me, and he was good in Terminator: Salvation and Star Trek.

Killed young, rich, with his whole life ahead of him. One can expect ST Beyond to be dedicated to his memory.

2016 sucks

Wow, freak accident is right.

Yea seriously, and it probably wasn't an instant death either.

[Mayne]

oh my fucking god. This is tragic. I loved his portrayal.

It's Pavel Andreievich Chekov.

Anton Yelchin played the character since 2009. Walter Koenig before that. RIP.

 

[Mayne]

I loved that character with his russian accent. He was perfect...makes me sad thinking about this now.

I thought esquared said to "Keep it respectful?"

 

[Engineer]

Very saddened by this!

RIP

 

[EvilYoda]

What!? He had some great roles in small indie films too...that's a horrible way to go. I thought he was going to be one of the best actors within his age group.

They're keeping in classy in the way only ATOT knows how.
