Very sad indeed. Only 27 years old. :-(

My wife came and told me Chekhov died... I thought she meant Walter Koenig at first until I saw an article about the car crash.
He'll at least be seen one more time in the reprised role in the upcoming Star Trek reboot movie being release next month.

Weird accident.  Not even what I would consider a car accident.  His own car rolled down the driveway and pinned him between the car and brick mailbox pillar.  Weird.  So sad... only 27.

A very tragic set of circumstances...I thought he played his part well and was excited to see the character develop.
