Rising actor Anton Yelchin was crushed by his own car, Los Angeles police have confirmed.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the Star Trek star had gotten out of his vehicle momentarily, and was struck and killed as it rolled backward down his steep driveway.

The car pinned the actor against a brick mailbox and fence. A Los Angeles police spokesperson later said that foul play was not suspected.

According to Lt. Larry Dietz, the Los Angeles County coroner's office "concluded that Yelchin's death was an accident" caused by "blunt traumatic asphyxia."

It seemed Yelchin hadn't properly shifted his car in park, Dietz added, explaining it was "just one of those freak accidents."
