We have an update on the tragic death of Anton Yelchin.
As most likely know by now, the actor was killed in a horrible accident early Sunday morning.
He was leaving to meet his friends when he somehow got pinned between his car and a security fence on his property.
It appears as if the car (a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee) malfunctioned, rolling down Yelchin's driveway and gravely injuring his head and chest upon impact.
An investigation is underway to determine whether the faulty vehicle ought to be recalled or not.
According to TMZ, meanwhile, Yelchin at least did not suffer during this fatal incident.
Investigators on the scene have determined that the actor, best known for his role in the new Star Trek franchise, passed away within one minute of impact between car and body.
Moreover, it does appear to have been a freak occurrence.
The 27-year-old actor had no history of drugs... and no prescription pills or alcohol of any kind was found in the vehicle.
Investigators have also determined Yelchin was not known to smoke marijuana.
One final note: there were apparently security cameras posted on the gate near where Yelchin was killed.
Authorities are reviewing these cameras and their tapes and may be able to actually call up footage of Yelchin's death.
This would at least help us figure out what happened to the very unfortunate young man.
We continue to send our condolences to his friends, family members and loved ones.
