Anton Yelchin, 27 who played Chekov in the latest Star Trek movie died yesterday. Seems he was found pinned between his mailbox and his running car, still in neutral.

That stinks.
There's not much more that'll put you in touch with your own mortality than hearing about something like this. The dude wasn't on the battlefield, or fighting a life-threatening disease, or even engaged in some high-risk leisure activity. He was checking his mail. Doing the most mundane of daily tasks and his ticket gets punched. You really start to wonder how many times a day you're one millimeter away from and end you don't even see coming.
He was a heck of a young actor, and by all accounts a quality guy. Real bummer.
Just realized that he was Thomas in Odd Thomas. A weird but enjoyable movie. Sad to hear about his passing.
Btdt, lived through it. Not exactly fun, but it was interesting.
