General / Off-Topic Anton Yelchin

[TheAntitheist Crusader]

I just heard about the tragedy that claimed the life of Anton Yelchin at 27, the actor who played Checkov in the new star trek films among other things, so young and seemed like such a nice guy, for the second time this week i feel deeply sad by the loss of someone who i have never met. I guess i need to remind myself that good people die every day, but still it hits me hard, in this case perhaps because of my love for star trek, so sorry to the families of the Orlando victims (and christina grimmie), Jo Cox, the disney Aligator boy's family and now Anton Yelchin's family in what seems to be one of the worst months for tragedy in the news in a long time.

We are so ephemeral. So fragile, so small. RIP

Really loved his work. This is turning out to be a really sucky year.

This is turning out to be a really sucky year.

A solid actor from young age. A tragic loss. This year is getting really...[redacted]

yeah, really sad, and such a daft accident by the sounds of it.

It was stupid and utterly pointless.

Be careful folks. Cars are not playthings without danger, and alertness.
Give this accident some meaning, so as prince death, neither was necessary to happen if the cars are smart enough to not move without driver, and the drug policies the USA are smarter instead of strictness?

Anton Yelchin killed by a Chrysler may be defective. His car, a Jeep Grand Cherokee of 2015, was a model for which the manufacturer Fiat Chysler, had emitted in April a reminder on 800,000 vehicles, for a gearbox problem
