A crewmember who was working on the Marvel Studios series “Wonder Man” died following an accident on set February 6, 2024 at CBS Radford Studios in Studio City, California, reported the Associated Press.
The man, whose name was not made public, was a rigger who fell from the rafters, according to the trade publication Deadline, which first reported the news. OSHA will be investigating the incident, according to the AP.
Matthew D. Loeb, president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, said the labor union was shocked and saddened.
“We are working to support our member’s family, and his fellow members and colleagues,” Loeb said in a statement. “Safety on set is our highest priority and we will assist Cal/OSHA in their investigation in any way that we can.”
Between 1990 and 2014, at least 43 people died on sets in the U.S. and more than 150 were left with life-altering injuries, according to a 2016 Associated Press report.
