What in the hell
So, he starts the car. The car is in neutral. He gets out of the car, goes around to the back of it, the car hits him and pins him between it and the mailbox?
I'm trying to make sense of how this guy gets killed by his own car in his own driveway with nobody else around.
Like, I can see him starting the car, letting it warm up (maybe?) walking down to get his mail and then... the car just slips out of park and picks up speed in reverse going down the incline until it hits him?
This is fucking bizarre. And sad as hell.

Yes. The new film is finished. I would imagine it will be amended with a dedication to him.

I thought it was some sick joke because of ALL CAPS TITLE, but... :-(
Is TMZ a good source? I can't see the story anywhere I know to trust.
Just hoping, I guess. Really shit news if true.
EDIT:
Dang... RIP, kid.

TMZ is pretty damn reliable with this kind of stuff

Wonky journalists as they are, they're (unfortunately) usually on point in regards to deaths.

They're widely considered to be one of the biggest boils on the ass of the journalism industry... but they're also highly accurate, especially in this specific area of expertise.

He wasn't alone.
Dang, I thought he was really talented to. After alpha dog I saw him on the way to stardom. Sad.

Damn, I always thought he was a great actor. Sad to see this.
Maybe he was a bit high? I know that even after a joint I fumble with normal shit, and a random thought can make me do something quick quick.
Like before leaving, put it in R, realise you are waiting for an amazon package, think you put it on P while you jog to the mailbox, but it was on N.
Such a fucked up situation.
TMZ said he was crushed though.
The story from his publicist makes it sound like he was in a car crash.

Every celebrity needs to wrap themselves in bubble wrap until 2016 is over.
Just make sure to leave air holes.

What a depressingly pointless way to die. Always make sure your car is in park, folks. And keep your head on a swivel anyway, just in case.

Very, very sad news, especially considering his age.
I haven't seen many of his films but I loved him in Star Trek, he was a lot of fun and a great Chekov.
Fuck 2016.
