Geez, life can be so randomly horrible and brutal when doing the simplest things. Who expects to die in their driveway?

RIP and condolences to his family.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Sad.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Terrible way to go. RIP.

 

[Nokterian]

What?? Horrible just horrible he was such a rising star way way to young (

 

[Bravocado]

So young, and with such a bright future ahead of him....

I feel awful for his loved ones.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is Green Room any good? Only know this guy from the Star Trek movies.

Goddamn, that's an awful way to go.

27, that's just too fucking young. RIP, man.

Terrible accident. As others have said can get really used to the manual transmission and not even think about the fact neutral does not park the car if you are distracted. Just need the slightest incline to get the car rolling

Very much so, but don't watch if you're squeamish.

 

[kinoki]

He was great in just about everything I saw him in, even Terminator. Really liked his part in Only Lover Left Alive. He was a great Chekov.

 

[Nokterian]

Hollywood Reporter guy spoke to the police.

How unfortunate and tragic

 

[Aurongel]

Jesus... What a way to go. Such a terrible accident, I don't know what to say on father's day of all things.

RIP Odd Thomas :'(

 

[Brian Fellows]

I remember him being very good in Alpha Dogs too even if the movie itself wasn't that stellar.

 

[Darth Pinche]

This is horrific. Rest in Peace, you were taken from us far too soon.

 

[thehypocrite]

RIP young star.

 

[rokkerkory]

Noooo!!! Rip

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

What. Horrible. Only 27 too?

 

[Feltrol]

So young. RIP

 

[Jimmy King]

RIP

this is fucking awful and crazy

 

[Jenov]

That's terrible. His character was one the stand-outs of the new Star Treks as well RIP.

 

[Nodnol]

What a bizarre way to go, and a tragic loss indeed. RIP.

2016 is brutal so far.

 

[cebri.one]

RIP.

My gosh, this kind of tragic accidents always reminds me to live life as fully as we can.

 

[spekkeh]

You don't need to put the car to neutral to start it], you just need to push the clutch all the way down. That is the only requirement, nothing concerning brakes or gears.

You are also talking about some kind of anecdotes when you say that MT causes death by rolling/crushing.

I would like to hear all the details about his death. Such a strange event.

You're right, but I reckon a lot of people put it in neutral when they turn the engine off, and don't automatically put it into gear when they start the car (or consciously put it in neutral if they get out of the car to pick something up/open the gate), I know I always did.

Not sure what you mean with your second paragraph. This is not the first time something like this happens. It happens pretty frequently actually. (simple google search)

 

[Hazmat]

Holy shit. I remember seeing him when he was just a kid in Hearts in Atlantis. Rest in peace, and fuck 2016.

 

[DrEvil]

Unbelievable.

I had the pleasure of listening in on some of the dialog recording sessions for our Star Trek game years ago.. he was an absolute pro and such a humorous and nice guy.

RIP Anton.

 

[Bubblicious]

So young and what a terrible way to die !

RIP, I had a bit of a celeb crush on him.

Hopefully they do a good tribute for him on Star Trek Beyond.

 

[Exis]

I watched him on the short lived and underwatched Showtime show 'Huff' and due to it was always kinda rooting for him career wise- damn shame.

 

[Quick]

Holy shit. RIP.

Deaths in 2016 haven't shocked me as much now, because it's such a freak accident, god damn.

 

[SeanTSC]

Really terrible, I loved him in the new Star Trek movies.

And god, I always use my E-brake on my driveway no matter what due to fear of crap like this. I'm going to be even more paranoid about it now.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

You're right, but I reckon a lot of people put it in neutral when they turn the engine off, and don't automatically put it into gear when they start the car (or consciously put it in neutral if they get out of the car to pick something up/open the gate), I know I always did.

Is there a reason for that? I always park in first. Often, I don't even engage the emergency brake. Am I damaging the transmission by parking in gear? If I do leave it in neutral, the parking brake is on right away -- but I have a smaller car that has a tendency to immediately roll if there is any sort of incline, so it would be hard to leave it in neutral without engagnig the e brake.

e: now that I think about it, I park in 1st gear to start, but if I'm on a hill I engage the E-brake and shift to neutral afterwards.

 

[rObit]

There's no part of this story that doesn't make me feel absolutely sick. Fuck this.

R.I.P. Anton.

 

[VistraNorrez]

Terrible news, really liked him whenever he was in a film. Think I last saw him in Burying the Ex (which I did like, and he was a huge reason why).

 

[otapnam]

Rip. Always enjoyed his performances. Sad way go at an early age.

 

[Vilix]

OMG. Terrible news. RIP.

 

[Venom Fox]

Oh wtf! R.I.P man.

 

[strafer]

Saw this on Twitter

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Damn, RIP.

 

[wenis]

fuck man, such a talented actor and he seemed like such a good and personable individual. That's just tragic.

 

[Lotto]

i liked him a lot, this bums me out. i'm just about his age too.

 

[anarckitty]

Jesus. This is just depressing. He was a wonderful actor.

My husband and I were just talking about him last night.

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Damn, he was in my favorite movie of this year. (Green Room) Just watched Odd Thomas and Burying the Ex a few weeks ago, too. What a shame.

R.I.P.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Most people I know park in 1st, but I'm one of the exceptions that park in neutral. And their have been a few times where I forgot to pull up the e brake. I just simply forgot. Fortunately nothing has ever happened to me nor has my car rolled away.

The worse example of this is when I got off work and discovered that I forgot to pull up the e brake. I felt so fucking stupid because it was dangerous and I could have caused a accident. Basically things like that can happen because people can get careless or become forgetful.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

A really promising young actor. I expected him to have a lot of success.

 

[anarckitty]

Is Green Room any good? Only know this guy from the Star Trek movies.

Green Room was fantastic.

 

[msdstc]

Nooo charlie Bartlet . I was sure this guy was destined for greatness, potential for Oscars in his future.

That duck picture is so sad, basically confirms what he seemed like in interviews and whatnot .

 

[Jacksinthe]

I'm going to break 2016's spine.

RIP

So goddamn young.

 

[Digital-Hero]

I drive a manual, so I always pull up the parking break anytime before leaving my car. One time I forgot and my car started rolling and I had to jump in and pull the brake. That startled me so much. Never again.

My guess is he just forgot and it costed him.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Fuck that hit me right in the gut. I had to sit down

RIP
Odd Thomas is one of my faves

 

[Syphon Filter]

So young, rest in peace and condolences to his family.
