Igralca iz Zvezdnih stez ubil njegov lastni avto
Oblasti so potrdile, da je igralec Anton Yelchin, najbolj znan po vlogi v Zvezdnih stezah, umrl po tem, ko ga je povozil njegov lastni avtomobil.
Mrliški oglednik je za revijo People povedal, da so truplo 27-letnega igralca v nedeljo našli ujeto med avtomobilom in vrati pred njegovim domom v Los Angelesu. Razloga za smrt uradno še niso sporočili, je pa 27-letnik utrpel poškodbe glave in prsnega koša. Po besedah mrliškega oglednika vozilo najverjetneje ni bilo pravilno parkirano, preden je Yelchin odšel do zadnjega dela avtomobila, ki se je nato po strmem dovozu začelo premikati nazaj in igralca stisnilo ob vrata.
Smrt mladega igralca je pretresla Hollywood. JJ Abrams, ki je režiral Yelchina v dveh filmih Zvezdnih stez, ga je na Twitterju opisal kot briljantnega: "Bil si prijazen. Bil si zelo smešen in neverjetno nadarjen. Z nami nisi bil niti približno dovolj dolgo. Pogrešam te."
Yelchin je v Zvezdnih stezah igral Pavla Chekova v dveh filmih, ki sta v kinodvorane prišla leta 2009 in 2013. Vlogo Chekova je odigral tudi v tretjem filmu, ki ga bodo v kinodvorane poslali naslednji teden.
