A much-loved star of one of the films in the Terminator franchise, as well as several Star Trek and Smurfs movies, was killed in a shocking accident at his home before an audition
The much-loved actor passed away at the age of just 27, having starred in TV shows such as ER, NYPD Blue and Curb Your Enthusiasm – as well as 2009 movies Star Trek and Terminator Salvation and 2016's Star Trek Beyond. He had even been the voice of Clumsy Smurf in several of the hit Smurfs movies.
He was pinned between his Jeep Cherokee and a gatepost on the driveway of his Los Angeles property, and had died from ‘blunt trauma asphyxia.” A lawsuit later stated: “Anton Yelchin was crushed and lingered alive for some time, trapped and suffocating until his death.” One Tree Hill actor Chad Michael Murray penned: "Just heard about #AntonYelchin what a great talent and good young man. Gone far too soon... #GodBless Terrible loss. You I'll be missed," and Doctor Who star Andrew Hayden-Smith added: "Wow, that's sad news about Anton Yelchin. A very talented guy taken away too soon."
