Star Trek Actor Anton Yelchin Has Died in a Car Accident
According to the Associated Press, actor Anton Yelchin has died at the age of 27 in a car accident.
According to TMZ, Yelchin was discovered by friends at home around 1 am, after he was late to rehearsal. He had been pinned by his car in his driveway at his San Fernando Valley home. Yelchin’s death was confirmed by his publicist earlier today. Foul play is not suspected.
Yelchin was born in Russia in 1989, and immigrated to the United States as an infant. His first role was on E.R. in 2000, and he had worked as an actor in a number of additional television shows over the following years. He rose to national attention with his role in the film Alpha Dog, before he was cast as Chekov in J.J. Abram’s rebooted Star Trek franchise.
