Kevin Smith fell from film set tower, agent reveals
19.02.2002
By LOUISA CLEAVE
Kevin Smith was climbing a film prop designed like a castle when he fell on
to a stone base, causing the head injuries that led to his death.
The actor had been drinking but was not intoxicated, his agent said
yesterday.
Robert Bruce gave details of the New Zealand actor's death in China on
behalf of Smith's wife, Suzanne, and family.
He said the accident happened on Smith's last day on the set of the movie
Warriors of Virtue II, and no one saw it.
Smith had arranged to finish filming early so he could return to New Zealand
and spend time with his family before heading to the United States. He was
to enter a Navy SEALS "boot camp" to prepare for his next role, acting
alongside Bruce Willis in Hawaii.
Mr Bruce said he understood Smith drank a couple of beers, ate dinner and
took a walk around the Central China Television film studios while he waited
for a ride to his hotel.
The studios are in Shijiazhuang, the capital city of the Hebei Province,
250km southwest of Beijing.
"He went for a wander around the film set and there was this castle-type
film set structure which he climbed and fell," Mr Bruce said. "We don't know
why but he was found at the base of that with head injuries.
"On film sets there are no bars or anything like that. If you have a couple
of beers it's because someone brings in a six-pack at the end of the night."
He did not know how much time elapsed before Smith was discovered,
semi-conscious. Mr Bruce said Smith's family had visited the film set where
he died and had told him the structure was about three storeys high.
Smith was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to Beijing in the
early hours of February 6.
At the Beijing hospital he fell into a coma and did not regain
consciousness.
After several days, Smith showed signs of recovery, but his body went into
shock, said Mr Bruce who had told Friday night's Holmes television show that
the injuries were not life-threatening. He learned early on Saturday that
Smith had died.
Mr Bruce said there were no suspicious circumstances and police were not
investigating the accident. An autopsy was not carried out.
Asked if climbing a film prop was something Smith would normally do, Mr
Bruce said: "This was one which must have taken his fancy as a lookout.
"I guess if you put yourself in the same position, you've finished filming,
you're in the studio, some people have gone home, you're waiting for a lift
and wandering around. Some of these sets I've been on are absolute works of
art.
"So yeah, there'd be a certain amount of interest [in this prop] I'm sure."
