Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin has passed away following an automobile accident at his home, TMZ reports.

Reports indicate that Yelchin was killed after being pinned between his car and a brick mailbox. The car was in neutral, with the engine running, when he was found. The driveway on the property is apparently on a steep incline.


No foul play is suspected, and it's unclear why the actor got out of the car.

Besides three Star Trek movies (including the forthcoming Star Trek Beyond), Yelchin is best known in fanboy circles for his roles in Terminator Salvation, The Smurfs, and Alpha Dog. The actor also played the title roles in Huff and Charlie Bartlett.

Yelchin was born in the USSR and moved to the United States in 1989 after his parents were relocated as political refugees. His parents, Irina (née Korina) and Viktor Yelchin, were pair figure skaters who were stars of the Leningrad Ice Ballet for 15 years. They apparently qualified for the 1972 Olympics but Soviet Union did not permit them to participate. They both remain involved in figure skating as coaches and trainers. Yelchin's uncle is the children's author and painter Eugene Yelchin.

Yelchin's career started in the '90s, although he didn't find widespread acclaim until 2006's Alpha Dog, in which he played the victim of a kidnap-and-murder plot based loosely on a true story. He's also appeared in the horror films Fright Night and Odd Thomas. He has a number of projects in production or post-production as of this writing, including Trollhunters, We Don't Belong Here, and the pilot to Mr. Mercedes, a planned TV adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name.

    Dude was probably on some prescription drugs, and was not fully functioning.

    RIP.

    Quit slandering the dude. It was a new Jeep Grand Cherokee which have had problems out the ass. They think that even though he put it in park it was actually in neutral which is problems they've had with them before.

    Settle down, no one is slandering him.

    People were basically calling him an idiot for this happening, and I offered a reasonable explanation.

    I said prescription drugs, not illegal drugs.

    Drugs could be prescribed for sleep, anxiety, allergies, and etc. which are drugs notoriously known for dulling the senses.

    Newly prescribed drugs or the interaction of prescription drugs amongst themselves or with food / beverages could have unintended side effects.

    Get it?

    So what proof do you have that he was on any drugs, legal or illegal???

    That's right you don't have any so you're basically just gossiping like a little girl, right???

    First off ? , calm down. It ain't that serious like I stated before.

    Notice the words I used in both of my posts, "probably" and "reasonable explanation", which means there is a degree of uncertainty.

    People are so quick to laugh at or judge this man's plight, while I am telling people that they don't know what this man was going through at the time.

    You can't be this stupid.

    Good find on the jeep angle though, but that information was not available to me when I made my first post.

    However, it doesn't excuse you acting like a little ? over my harmless posts.

    I'm not even going to entertain a response to someone that resorts to middle school insults on a internet message board of all places.
