Hudson Meek
The young actor’s full name was Hudson Joseph Meek, and he was best known for his roles in four popular films. He first played a significant role as Chris Piper in the movie 90 Minutes in Heaven (2015). The next was Baby Driver (2017), where he played the role of the young baby. After that, in Found (2023), he was Teenage Sir, and finally, in The School Duel (2024), he was the character Sirius. Hudson Meek was only seven years old in 90 Minutes in Heaven and nine in Baby Driver, but his first on-screen debut occurred at six.
Hudson Meek, fortunately, seemed to have more time to grow as no other films could be found starring him until he returned to acting in 2023. This was proven when Meek began acting again at age fifteen and did what would sadly be his final film at age sixteen. Not much personal information can be found on Hudson Meek aside from some photos of him that can be found online, either on the sets for the films he acted in or with other friends.
The Accident
News about Hudson Meek’s sudden accident and death was spread all over the internet, all labeled as death from falling out of a moving vehicle. He sustained blunt-force injuries from his fall, and a Coroner examined those same injuries at the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham. The Jefferson County coroner confirmed that he died as a result of those injuries two days after the fall from the car. Nothing else is known about the accident besides what has been shared online. Even Hudson Meek’s official Instagram account had limited information about the details of his passing, but they did post a video of his memorial. The video was posted after his memorial photo, which was shared online first, showing his date of birth to date of death.
The Investigation so Far
The Police are said to be investigating the circumstances that led to his death; all of the news about it has been real, but there are questions and concerns. So far, what everyone knows is that it was a car accident that first occurred on December 19th. Others already know that he specifically died two days after succumbing to blunt-force injuries sustained from falling out of the car. The only public information about the accident was the time and location.
Aside from those two facts, there is not much information about what type of car he fell out of, who else was in the car, and what happened before the fall. So far, no other public statements have been made or released. Regardless of the lack of information about the accident, considering how fast it occurred, it will take time. For now, family, friends, and fans are taking time to mourn. The details of Hudson Meek’s death require time to gather evidence and need to be handled gently.
Results
A memorial service for Hudson Meek was held at Dawson Memorial Baptist Church on December 28th. The memorial service was live-streamed and posted on social media on Wednesday, along with an obituary. He had accomplished many things in life that many other sixteen-year-olds would envy. His obituary stated that he had an acting career, played football in high school, sang in the school choir, traveled across all fifty states, and had the opportunity to do more. He lived an extraordinary life but died too young, but he will be remembered.
