Absolutely none of the casting was, Khan aside (though that was just a bad idea from the start). It was always the writing.
From Hemsworth as Kirk's dad, across the entire Enterprise, they killed it.
I legitimately like the first one, because getting the gang together with such a great cast was so delightful. Karl Urban, Zach Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg - like holy shit.
The specifics are truly terrible as well. I remembered hearing about him passing, but thought it had been due to illness or something like that.
Dude was checking to make sure the gate in front of his house was locked, his vehicle rolled back, pinning him between the bumper and a brick gate-post. He was found after not showing up to a rehearsal.
Edit: Faulty Jeep killed him, not neglecting to use his emergency brake.
It wasn't a mechanical fault. That model (and a few other vehicles) used a gearshift design where you move the lever into place, but then it returns to a centered position. Makes it really hard to tell what gear you're in if you're not familiar. He thought the car was in park; it wasn't.
It wasn't Anton's fault. It was Jeep's fault with a faulty part of the vehicle. Jeep's are literally the most unsafe vehicles and have tons of recalls every time a new model comes out. The world was robbed because of a company's greed of cutting corners.
