RIPs

Anton Yelchin of Star Trek and Odd Thomas dies aged 27 after being run over by his own car in tragic accident.

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

Well there's a shock. Only 27 too. Pinned by his own car which was in neutral? Very sorry to hear he is no more.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

That IS a real shock  So young too, utterly horrible.

[TordelBack]

Damn that's sad, he seemed even younger than that tragically young age. Mr Chekov II and Kyle Reese II, but he'll always be Albino Pirate to me.

2016 has now officially become the year when celebrities of any standing need to look both ways and carry out a thorough and exacting risk assessment.

Utterly astonishing and gut wrenching news about Anton Yelchin. What an awful way to go.

Shocking news about Anton Yelchin. A terrible accident. Very sad.

[Link Prime]

Terribly sad news about Anton Yelchin.

A very likable actor, I was a fan since he guest-starred as Larry's "magician" nephew in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

[Something Fishy]

So young.  2016 is a harsh year.

Alan Mitchell, who collaborated with Pat Mills on Coffin for Toxic and Third World War for Crisis, when Eve swapped the dust and heat of Central America for London and black radical politics.

The results were uneven, but I remember thinking the stuff with Lyatt and BADS was introducing me to a subculture I knew nothing about. He's seen here, looking like he's just asked Alan Moore and Charles Shaar Murray whether they want to swallow the blue pill or the red:

The latest wikipedia edit apparently added by the child of Alan Mitchell - edit summary as follows:
(I added my father's death and a few details about his life.)

While I have no specific reason to doubt that, this is the internet, so are there any more detailed news reports?  I'll add sources to the wiki page if so (and we should start a new thread in news as Alan was a scribe for the House of Tharg).

aw shit.  Hope you are okay.
