In a shocking turn of events, one of the production crews for “Wonder Man” TV series lost his life on Tuesday in a tragic on-set accident, as confirmed by Marvel Studios.
The studio expressed its condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, 41-year-old Juan Carlos Osorio from Temple City, California, identified as a rigger who fell from rafters.
Marvel Studios issued a statement to CNN, saying, “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and friends, and our support is behind the investigation into the circumstances of this accident.”
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the incident at 4024 Radford in Studio City, California, which is the address for CBS Radford Studios, around 6:55 am local time on Tuesday.
Officer Charles Miller, a spokesperson for the LAPD, confirmed the ongoing death investigation, assuring that no foul play is suspected.
“Wonder Man,” featuring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, known for his roles in “Aquaman” and HBO’s “Watchmen,” was slated to stream on Disney+.
The show, introducing the relatively lesser-known Marvel character from the ’60s, currently does not have a release date.
The production team’s focus is now on cooperating with the investigation and providing support to the grieving family.
