RIP Star Trek Actor Anton Yelchin

[Acker79]

Anton Yelchin, star of films such as the remake of Fright Night, Terminator Salvation, and probably most recognisable as Chekov in the Star Trek remakes has died at the age of 27.

According to TMZ, the star died in a "freak accident" after getting pinned between his car and a brick mailbox at his home.

Yelchin was discovered after concerned friends visited his home in San Fernando Valley, California, because he had failed to attend a rehearsal hours earlier.​

Sad news and leaves an issue for the next film on whether to write out of the film or recast
