‘Star Trek’, ‘Charlie Bartlett’ Actor Anton Yelchin Has Died At 27

Briefly: It’s another sad, sad day in Hollywood, as the world reacts to the death of another young star.

Anton Yelchin, who portrayed Chekov in Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond, as well the titular character in 2007’s criminally underrated Charlie Bartlett was found dead near his home early this morning.

According to TMZ, who was first to report the news, the actor was found pinned between his car and a brick mailbox, which was attached to a security gate. They note that “the engine was running when his body was discovered, and the car was in neutral. The driveway was on a fairly steep incline. It’s unclear why he got out of the car.”
