Hollywood actor Anton Yelchin is dead

Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin reportedly died of his injuries less than a minute after he was pinned between his SUV and a security fence on Sunday last week. The 27-year-old was found pinned against the gate of his home in Studio City, California, by his Jeep Grand Cherokee at around 1am on Sunday.

The Jeep crushed his lungs and investigators believe he died within 60 seconds of the impact, sources told TMZ.

Yelchin's death was ruled an accident by the Los Angeles medical examiner after an autopsy was performed on Sunday.

Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter said the autopsy determined Yelchin died of blunt force asphyxia.
But toxicology results will take months to analyse, Winter added.

However, the actor had no history of drugs. No alcohol or prescriptions were found in the vehicle, according to TMZ.
