A crew member died in a fall on the set of Marvel Studios television series "Wonder Man" on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Walt Disney-owned studio said.
The man, a rigger, fell from a catwalk onto a stage at Radford Studio Center just outside of Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Riggers set up scaffolding to hold lights, cameras and other equipment at different angles.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner identified the man as 41-year-old Juan Carlos Osorio of Temple City, California. Police had earlier estimated his age as 50.
Filming was not taking place at the time of the accident, and production was halted for the day.
