The motion picture company behind the TV show “The Walking Dead” has been cited and fined for a fatal fall that occurred on the Senoia, Georgia set last year.
Stuntman John Bernecker died on July 12 of blunt force trauma to the head after plunging headfirst from a balcony to a concrete floor 22 feet below. Bernecker and an actor were rehearsing a fight scene that was supposed to end with a routine fall from a balcony, but he lost his footing and fell, attempting - but failing - to grab the balcony.
