An On-Set Tragedy
TV’s top-rated scripted drama has suspended production indefinitely … but not for Charlie Sheen-esque reasons. NCIS is taking a break because of an on-set tragedy.
A security guard on the set of the CBS hit was struck and killed by a van yesterday after the driver suffered a medical emergency. Apparently the driver lost consciousness and the van struck the security guard. He was rushed to hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
The identity of the security guard has not yet been relased.
In a statement released late yesterday, CBS Entertainment said: “Our hearts grieve for his family and friends for this tragic loss. We are, of course, cooperating with the local authorities in Santa Clarita to help determine what caused this terrible accident.”
No word on when the NCIS crew will be back at work.
Our prayers to the NCIS cast and crew, and to the family of that man
