Anton Yelchin continues to be mourned and remembered by those who worked closely with the actor. As previously reported, Yelchin died on Sunday morning after he got trapped between his car and a security gate on his own property. Details on how this tragic accident took place are still being gathered, but it appears as if the actor passed away due to head and chest injuries. His vehicle rolled toward him while Yelchin was standing near the gate, fatally pinning him between the two obstacles. He was only 27 years old at the time. Authorities, meanwhile, are looking into the Jeep Grand Cherokee at the center of this accident and attempting to determine whether a recall is in order due to a fault in the design. Since his passing, many Hollywood stars have come out and expressed their deepest sympathies for Yelchin and his family. And this now includes Justin Timberlake. View Slideshow: Anton Yelchin: A Career in Pictures “Anton Yelchin. Genius actor. Amazing human being. Gone WAY too soon. May he rest in peace,” Timberlake Tweeted yesterday. The singer starred alongside Yelchin in the 2006 movie Alpha Dog. Yelchin is also best known for having played the title character in Charlie Bartlett and also portrayed Pavel Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek franchise. The latest movie from that franchise, Star Trek: Beyond, comes out on July 22. The cast and creators of these new Star Trek films, meanwhile, shared their heartbreak over the unexpected death of their costar in a message posted to social media soon after his passing. It was written by director J.J. Abrams, who helmed 2009’s Star Trek and 2013 Star Trek: Into Darkness, and it reads as follows: Anton was our little brother. But only by years; he was as wise and clever and intellectually curious as anyone we ever knew. His laugh was preposterous – you couldn’t hear it and not laugh yourself. He was funny, edgy, wild and talented beyond measure. His focus and dedication was admirable, as was his love of family, friends, literature and music. We loved Anton, at work or at play. We are all shocked and numb and devastated by the world’s loss of an extraordinary young man. To his family, we send you our love during this impossible time. We will miss Anton forever. His Star Trek family.
