Brandon Lee
The controversy surrounding Brandon Lee's tragic death has yet to simmer down. Lee, only 28 years old, was accidentally shot on the set of The Crow and died from his abdominal wound. Rather than using dummy cartridges, the props department decided to create their own cartridges by taking out the powder charge from real bullets. However, they left the liver primer at the back of the cartridge in place, causing the bullet to become stuck part of the way down the barrel.
The homemade dummy cartridge had been removed and replaced with blank rounds. When Michael Massee fired the gun, the bullet that had been lodged in the gun was shot directly into Lee, who later died as a result of his injuries.
