A star of the hit series Boston Legal died in a car accident Monday. Mentell was only 27 at the time of his death and had a promising career ahead of him. Justin was also an accomplished speed skater.
It is thought that the actor fell asleep at the wheel of his truck when it left the roadway and smashed into a tree. Evidence also indicates that Justin was ejected from the vehicle and that he was not wearing his seatbelt.
As previously reported, people who are ejected in car accidents are much more likely to suffer fatal injuries.
