The Haunting Message On Actor Anton Yelchin's Gravestone

As USA Today notes, in 2016, Yelchin was trapped by his Jeep Grand Cherokee when it unexpectedly rolled backward down the driveway outside the actor's Los Angeles home. Sadly, Yelchin reportedly lived for some time before he died from suffocation. In 2018, Yelchin's parents reached a settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit against the vehicle's manufacturer, Chrysler Fiat. The automotive company recalled more than one million vehicles of the same make and model as Yelchin's for an issue with the gear shifter that was the reason for several accidents similar to what caused Yelchin's death.

In USA Today's report on the settlement, Yelchin's father, Victor Yelchin, reportedly said at the time that the family's suit was filed, "In spite of our unbelievable grief, we decided to come here to prevent other families from the same tragedy." As the Los Angeles Times explains, Yelchin was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1989, then lived in Leningrad. Yelchin moved to the U.S. when he was just six months old.
