Bloody hell that's a bit young.... Freak accident.
Because it's breaking they seem to have overlooked in the text that he is probably best known for playing Chekov in the Star Trek reboots.

Horrible news today. Actor Anton Yelchin, who recently starred in the indie-hit “Green Room”, has died today at the age of 27.
TMZ and many other news sites are reporting that Anton died in a freak accident late last night. Apparently Mr. Yelchin was supposed to meet some friends for a rehearsal, but when he didn’t show they went to check up on him. When they arrived at his home they found him pinned between his brick mailbox and car. It would seem that the car had rolled down the driveway and hit him. Police are still investigating the incident, but don’t believe foul play was involved.
Whether by choice or by circumstance Anton Yelchin seemed to have a growing career in horror. In his short career Anton appeared in five horror films including “Odd Thomas”, “Burying the Ex”, The “Fright Night” remake, and “The Green Room.” With the “Green Room” he received a great deal of critical acclaim and showed his range and promise as an actor.
In the near future Anton was set to work with Guillermo Del Toro on his animated project “Trollhunters” and was to star in the Stephen King series “Mr. Mercedes.” He was a great actor and talented individual. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time.
