What happened to Brandon Lee?
Lee was the son of martial artist, actor and director Bruce Lee, who died at the age of 32 from a brain edema "possibly caused by a reaction to a prescription painkiller", in 1972.
His son, Brandon died 21 years later when film a scene for the film The Crow, in which his character is shot and killed by thugs.
A prop gun was improperly loaded with dummy rounds.
The gun was supposed to fire a blanks, but a .44 calibre bullet was later found lodged in his spine during a post-mortem.
The round was fired by actor Michael Massee and Lee was originally thought to be joking when the shot rang out.
It was soon discovered that his pulse was failing and his breathing was very heavy, he was rushed to a nearby hospital for surgery but did not survive.
Lee was due to be married to his fiance Eliza Hutton after the end of filming for The Crow.
He was 28 at the time of his death and the shooting was ruled an accident.
The film is now considered a cult classic and did well at the box office upon its release in 1994. He was subsequently buried alongside his father.
Massee was traumatised by the event and reportedly never saw the film and took a break from acting shortly after.
"What happened to Brandon was a tragic accident. It's something I'm going to live with. It took me the time it took to be able to not so much put it in perspective but to be able to move on with my life," he told Extra TV.
"It's very personal. It's something that I wanna make sure when I work that it's never repeated. Therefore, I'm very conscious of things going awry on set."
