Wow those details are really odd as to how he died. RIP
Indeed... what a strange death.

If anything good can come from this, it's to remind people to take every part of driving seriously, including parking.

I knew nothing of Star Trek before seeing the reboot, and he was my favorite because of the hilarious accent. This sucks.

What a nasty way to go. Rest in peace Anton....
One of the first things my driving teacher taught me was to always ALWAYS leave your car with the appropriate gear when on a hill. If the front of the car faces upwards 1st gear if it faces downwards Rear gear, just to be doubly safe.
Of course he would that to me as a measure to avoid damaging the car...
It's impossible to think that Anton might have been alive had he applied such a simple trick.
(hypothetically of course, since there could be another reason for the accident)

Yeah. I said earlier my wife did nearly the exact same thing (she didn't pull the brake hard enough and it failed). Car ended up crushing her grandmothers driveway gate she had to jump out of the way of and rolling out into the street.

Jesus. So young and he was good in everything I've seen him in.

You should all watch Odd Thomas, I think it might still be free on Amazon. It's a great watch and he really sells the relationships in it.
Sad news.
Sad news.

Hollywood Reporter guy spoke to the police.
That's some fucking Final Destination shit right there. The dude rocked it in my favorite film of the year so far, GREEN ROOM and was always the bright spot in the movies he was in. I don't think I've had a reaction like this since Heath Ledger and this is even worse considering the circumstances. Just terribly fucking sad. God Damn!
So much this!
Watch "Odd Thomas" and "Burying the Ex". Anton is funny as hell.
Man...... I'm gonna miss him.

He was great in everything:
Green Room
Fright Night
Terminator Salvation
Charlie Bartlett
Alpha Dog
The Beaver
and of course Star Trek.
It's gonna be really bittersweet watching Beyond now.

Very sad. He was very likable and talented and seemed like he had his shit together...unlike so many other young stars.
He was great in every single thing that I saw him in. Another good one that I haven't seen mentioned is his performance in Criminal Minds.

Not to mention his appearance in Curb Your Enthusiasm:

Oh no. :'(
I really enjoyed his work. Rest in peace.
Edit: I just watched Odd Thomas recently, which was really awesome, and I just got Burying the Ex.

The Fright Night remake was better than it had any right to be.

I was watching Along Came a Spider the other day and I just realized that he played the son of the Russian Ambassador.
Woah.

Holy fucking shit and for fuck sakes!
First thing I remember the dude in was the Taken mini-series.
RIP.

This is probably what passes as a kind gesture in 2016, but this sort of self-branding in the face of tragedy strikes my old-school soul as incredibly tacky. :|

That scenario is like one of my nightmares.
To get into my house, I need to open the gate and stand between it and my car. I'm always thinking that one day I'm gonna forget to put the car in park and I'm gonna get pinned in between.
I feel sad that this happened to him. I really liked him in everything that I've seen him in.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Yep. You only need to have it in Neutral if you want to take your feet off the pedals and not have it stall.
Also, automatic cars will overpower the parking brake and drive if you leave them in Drive or Reverse. (at least the ones I've driven)

I expect there will be a In Memory of Anton Yelchin at the end of Star Trek: Beyond
As there should be.

I agree whole heartedly. It's cringeworthy
Dude hastily scribbled a note on the letterhead on his desk. Dunno how this is self-branding.
