Marvel's 'Wonder Man' Crew Member Dies After Falling On Set

JC “Spike” Osorio, a lighting technician, died on February 6 after falling through a rotten catwalk on Stage 3 at the Radford Studio Center in Studio City.

An investigation by Cal/OSHA revealed that the walkway had a damaged piece of wood that had been improperly nailed to a roof support.

"The deteriorated ledger board was likely weakened by age, environmental conditions, and repeated loading over many decades," the investigation report said. "As the crew walked across the catwalks, the worker stood on the weakened portion of the catwalk. Suddenly and without warning, the ledger board supporting the floorboards separated and collapsed while the worker was standing on this portion of the catwalk. The worker fell 41 feet, striking the ground with force."
