Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted June 19, 2016 One of those deaths that's massive and insignificant at the same time, the guy who plays Chekhov in the new Star Trek movies has died aged 27. Anton Yelchin was found "pinned between his car and a brick mailbox" at 1am local time. He was also the voice of "Clumsy Smurf" in the modern Smurf films. Make your own joke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted June 19, 2016 So basically he ran himself over. I'd be checking his stomach contents for tuna mayo jacket potatoes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahh yes, that's the one. Though I misremembered the wife part, it was actually a caregiver who ran him over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes - obviously my jacket potato joke went over everyone's head. In much the same way as Harvey/Star Trek boy's cars went over their heads I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,972 Posted June 25, 2016 Luke Halpin's cancer is in remission now, but apparently the Alzheimer's causes problems: https://www.gofundme.com/pc62tqxk(latest update) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted June 25, 2016 Yeah, heard about this a few days ago but kept it quiet. Stage 4 neck and head cancer going into remission is somewhat.... unusual, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stage 4 neck and head cancer going into remission is somewhat.... unusual, no?have you heard of the new t cell cancer treatment its said to be the stuff of miracles. I'd be astonished if Halpin was able to access cutting-edge treatment given how his GoFundMe didn't really give off the impression of financial security. Which only makes his remission all the more surprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which only makes his remission all the more surprising. maybe he got their attention and they thought using it on a public figure like him would be the perfect opportunity. I am convinced Valerie Harper and clive James are also using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He probably died a few days earlier The Variety article seems to contradict itself on that. Friends called the police when they couldn’t reach him and he was found dead Saturday. Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux tweeted the news Saturday, writing that he died in peace surrounded by those close to him and the two women who loved him. I'm intrigued by the "two women who loved him" bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
