Anton Yelchin found dead

[Deleted]

He didn't die in a "regular" Car crash. He was checking his Mail and his car was at the top of his driveway and rolled down and pinned him against a Wall.

Also, another Celebrity member of the 27 club.

Seriously, do not put this one in the legendary 27 club ...

"legendary" You mean people that Overdosed or Blew their own faces off. They don't really seem legendary.

all the sadness and mourning aside, thats like top candidate for darwin award this year, driving himself over with his own car...

This must be a new trope in the making. We'll call it Chekov's car.

I heard about this from Addison Timlin, she was tweeting stuff and I was like, OMG are they dating, that's awesome and then I kept scrolling and... Sad, I liked him.

[Aitch]

Supposedly he exited the vehicle with out even putting it in park (he had it in neutral)

Manual transmissions.

Watch it with that edge, bro.

[Super Kami Dende]

Watch it with that edge, bro.

What edge? That is literally what most of the "27 club" died of. There wasn't anything legendary about them, the entire point of the name "27 club" was that they died at 27 randomly when they were still relevant in their careers.

Dunno who. rip I guess

I think the point is that this guy's career isn't comparable to Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain.

Edit: Also, does anyone suspect this might be a bizarre suicide where the guy didn't want people to know he killed himself? I mean, a whole bunch of shit has to line up for your car to pin you to your mailbox and you die from it.

I think a surprising number of people probably get run over by their own vehicles, stupidity is contagious.

Looks like the vehicle he was driving actually had a recall - https://www.yahoo.com/movies/latest-...162942695.html

"The SUV that killed "Star Trek" actor Anton Yelchin was being recalled because the gear shifters have confused drivers, causing the vehicles to roll away unexpectedly.

Most 2015 model year Grand Cherokees were part of a global recall of 1.1 million vehicles announced by Fiat Chrysler in April.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration urged the recall amid complaints that drivers had trouble telling if they had put the automatic transmissions in park. If they weren't in park and a driver left the vehicle, it could roll away."

"The problem: The gear shift's design makes it hard to tell what gear the vehicle is in. Unlike most gear selectors, which are in forward or back positions depending on whether the car is in Park, Reverse, Neutral or Drive, the gear selector in these vehicles always remains upright. The driver moves it forward or back to select a gear but it then returns to its original upright position."

That does seem like a pretty dumb design.

Rest in peace.

[LiiLoSNK]

And now to blame the parents for not teaching him enough about cars.

[Traveler Voltin]

first 2016 started taking the legends. now its taking any celebrity.
i hate you 2016

[Tempguy]

I actually really liked that guy.

He has that little bro look to him and I feel like I should teach him about girls.

Not being funny. I am 100% honest. Poor dude.

They should be sued. That is a horrible design and people will (obviously) get hurt by it.

Hes a celeb that died at 27, that is literally the only "qualification" required to be considered one of that "club"

Don't make it out like something that it isn't. Amy Winehouse is considered one of the "27 club" and all she was famous for was being a hot mess, singing about how much she was addicted to drugs and then ODing.

[Feredir]

Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, and Vanessa Hudgens turn 27 this year......

She was a very hot, mess, though

With make up... Just refreshed my memory and "Oh god!"

But then again, I find those Sarah Silverman lookin chicks hot.

[eschatological]

I don't consider Amy Winehouse part of the 27 club any more than I consider this guy part of it. Not to mention it's usually in reference to musicians.
