[Livia]

Like @AnnieK says, Brandon Lee died on set. He died because the gun was emptied of cartridges but no one checked the barrel. A round his misfired and lodged in the barrel. Consequently, when it was loaded with a blank and fired, there was enough power to fire the lodged bullet. Similarly, in 1984, Actor Jon-Erik Hexum held a blank-loaded pistol against his head and fired, pretending to play Russian roulette. The power of the blank round was enough to blow a piece of his skull into his brain and he died. Everyone handling firearms, whether loaded with blanks or unloaded, should be checked and checked again and everyone on a set should understand the dangers.
