It's just a horrible way to die. Drowning is one thing. Being pinned by a car you forgot to put the brake on is both humiliating and sucky.

[Xno Kappa]

What was the cause of death? Has that been released yet?

[Alistaire]

If you've never seen Odd Thomas, fix that.

[kuronosan]

He left his car in neutral, went to check his mail, car rolled back into him.

[Draylo]

What a way to go

Another actor in a Justin Lin movie dies in a car accident.

Seems that Jeep killed Chekov. His vehicle had been recalled. That will be good publicity, amirite?

Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee model that had recently been recalled due to a design flaw that made it possible for the vehicle to roll after being parked, PEOPLE confirms.

Yelchin’s body was found Sunday pinned between the car and the gate of his home in Studio City, California, after the 27-year-old’s vehicle rolled backward down the steep driveway, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson tells PEOPLE.

The spokesperson says the car was a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

A Fiat Chrysler Automobiles official tells PEOPLE that 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokees, manufactured between July 16, 2012 and Dec. 22, 2015, were recalled by the company in April after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigated a possible transmission defect.

Was wondering when people would notice that.

And yeah, crushed to death by your own car which had a recall notice on it for not properly ending up in park but frequently neutral. Some lawyer is going to sue the SHIT out of that car company now.

Less tragically, this also means the voice of Clumsy Smurf is dead.

[Eurell]

Clumsy Smurf crushed by his own car?

COME ON

Actually if there was an active recall notice for the problem that killed him, wouldn't that at least partially free the company of some legal liability?

It's a slippery slope. When a recall is reported to NHSTA , the owners of affected said vehicles are notified by mail. In most cases an actual remedy is not immediately available and a stop sale is often issued for all vehicles affected until a repair/and or inspection process is generated and followed.

In the meantime , the affected vehicles already purchased and being used are not typically able to be returned but a company can choose to provide or offer alternate transports like a rental but legally the only thing that must happen is mail notifications of the recall.

As I don't work for Jeep I'm unfamiliar with the specifics , however if a remedy was available at the time of the accident and it was not done it can fall on the owner. If there is no remedy available and an accident happens the company can definitely be found liable.
