Death
On 7 September 2011, Churilov was killed in the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, when a Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger aircraft, carrying nearly his entire Lokomotiv team, crashed just outside Yaroslavl, Russia.

Lokomotiv officials said "'everyone from the main roster was on the plane plus four players from the youth team.'"
