Joe Watts, who has worked on a series of Hollywood blockbusters, including Games of Thrones, was airlifted to Royal London Hospital after he plunged 30ft onto his head at the Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, on Monday afternoon.
In a statement, Hertfordshire Police added: "Police were called shortly before noon today following an incident at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire. It was reported that a man had been injured while working at the location and sustained serious injuries. The air ambulance attended and police officers are currently on scene to assist and carry out initial enquiries." The set is now believed to have closed down while police investigate the tragic incident.
In 2002, Harry O'Connor, who served as a stunt double for Vin in the blockbuster xXx, died on set in Prague while performing a paragliding stunt in the actor's place. Like this story? Sign up to our newsletter to get other stories like this delivered straight to your inbox.
