Update: Heath Ledger found dead in NYC home. Suicide suspected.
Reuters is reporting a death has occurred on the London set of the latest Batman film, The Dark Knight. No, it wasn’t Bale or Caine. Geez, why is everyone only concerned with the big names?
A crew member involved in the filming of the new Batman movie has died in a car accident on the set, police said on Tuesday. The special effects technician was killed when his 4×4 vehicle crashed into a tree during a dummy film run involving the “Batmobile.”
The incident happened on a property near Chertsey, Surrey, on Monday afternoon.
Surrey Police and the Health and Safety Executive said they were investigating a workplace fatality on a London film set.
The Associated Press offers a few more details on the victim’s involvement with the situation:
The studio said the man, who was not identified, died when a truck carrying a camera platform crashed into a tree while following a stunt vehicle on Monday. Filming on the movie, “The Dark Knight,” was not taking place at the time, and no actors were involved in the accident.
