Actor was taken to an Alabama hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Hudson Joseph Meek, known for his roles in Baby Driver and MacGyver, has died aged 16. According to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office, Meek died after he fell from a moving vehicle in Alabama last week.

Local news outlets have reported that Meek was taken to UAB Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and died two days later at around 8pm on Saturday night (21 December). Meek’s death was announced in a post shared to his Instagram page. “Our hearts are broken to share that Hudson Meek went home to be with Jesus tonight,” the post read. “His 16 years on this earth were far too short, but he accomplished so much and significantly impacted everyone he met.”.

The announcement was accompanied by a photograph of the actor smiling in a suit and tie. Meek got his big break in the 2017 Edgar Wright-directed film Baby Driver, in which he played the younger version of the film’s main character portrayed by Ansel Elgort.

The following year, he appeared in an episode of MacGyver, and later did voiceover work for the animated series Badanamu Cadets. His other TV credits include Legacies, Found and Genius. J Pervis Talent Agency, who represented the late actor, shared a tribute on Instagram, which remembered Meek as “an extraordinary young talent, whose dedication, passion, and promise shone brightly within our industry”.
