(SAN DIEGO, CA.) - The Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed a maximum fine of $12,675 against Stalwart Films LLC, the company that produces AMC’s top-rated Walking Dead television show, following last July’s death of stuntman John Bernecker.
Bernecker, 33, plunged headfirst from a 22-foot high balcony.
OSHA issued a citation that accuses the production company of failing to protect employees from fall hazards.
Bernecker's death has become controversial because investigative agencies haven't been forthcoming with information about the incident, and the fall that claimed his life was a basic skill for the veteran stuntman.
