He's dead, Jim. JJ-verse's Anton Yelchin (Chekov) dead

Damn, he was only 27

Yelchin's friends became alarmed because he was supposed to meet them hours earlier for a rehearsal. They went to his San Fernando Valley home at around 1 AM and found him pinned between his car and a brick mailbox, which was attached to a security gate.

Law enforcement tells us 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.

I thought he did an endearing take on Chekov, he's going to be missed by rebootists & canoners alike.
