Jon-Erik Hexum died on the set of his 80s TV show after an accident involving a prop gun, which is drawing comparisons to Alec Baldwin s incident on "Rust."
Actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun on a movie set and killed the cinematographer, authorities said. The director of the Western being filmed was wounded, and authorities are investigating what happened.
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.”
