Fox News
In 1984, actor Jon-Erik Hexum died after shooting himself in the head with a prop gun blank while pretending to play Russian roulette with a .44 Magnum on the set of the television series “Cover Up.”
A spokesperson for the actor said there was an accident on the set involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks. Sheriff’s spokesman Juan Rios said detectives were investigating how and what type of projectile was discharged. The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that the 63-year-old was seen Thursday outside the sheriff’s office in tears.
It’s a grim reminder of another horrific accident that occurred decades ago, which ended Hexum’s life.
