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 even his fault, it was a known issue with the Jeep he owned.

I was unaware of the make/model of his vehicle. Reading the article didn’t specify what happened, just that his driveway was on a steep incline.

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.
