LOS
ANGELES - A 34-year-old crew member on the film “Resident Evil: The
Final Chapter” is dead after a prop car crushed him on set in Cape Town,
South Africa, according to several media reports.
Authorities
said Ricardo Cornelius was part of a group of crew members who were
manually rotating a U.S. Army Hummer in the horror-thriller in early
December, when the vehicle apparently slipped off its platform and
pinned him beneath. He was taken to a local hospital and put on life
support, but he was later pronounced dead.
The tragedy
comes just after "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" stunt woman Olivia
Jackson revealed that she’ll have to amputate her arm after she severly
injured it during a motorcycle chase during the production.
“Resident
Evil: The Final Chapter” is the fifth film of the series. It stars
Milla Jovovich, Ruby Rose, Ali Larter and Iain Glenn in the final film
of the movie franchise based on the popular Capcom video game about an
apocalyptic future. It is directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The film is
scheduled for release on Jan. 27, 2017 by Screen Gems.
