Anton Yelchin, the Russian-American actor most famous for his portrayal of Pavel Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek movies, has been killed in an accident with his own car.
According to reports, the 27-year-old was found dead on Sunday morning, seemingly crushed between his Jeep Cherokee and a security fence at the bottom of his Los Angeles home's steep driveway.
Yelchin was born in St Petersburg to professional figure-skaters who moved to the US soon after his birth. He played Chekov in 2009's Star Trek and 2013's Star Trek: Return to Darkness, and is due to appear in the third, Star Trek Beyond, next month.
