'Star Trek' Star Anton Yelchin Dead After Freak Accident

According to TMZ, the 27-year-old Star Trek star was killed early on Sunday morning (June 19) after getting pinned by his own car.

His friend reportedly got worried when he didn’t show up to a meeting, so he went to his house in San Fernando Valley and found him “pinned between his car and a brick mailbox, which was attached to a security gate.”

Cops say that the engine was still running and the car was in neutral. No other details are known at this time, but they don’t suspect foul play.
