John Bernecker dies after a set accident while filming The Walking Dead.

There was a tragic accident on the set of the zombie series: the stunt man was seriously injured during training and later died from the consequences of his injuries. He practiced for a fight scene in which he was supposed to end up falling from a balcony, according to various sources. He is said to have lost his balance during training, whereupon he fell from a height of seven meters. The impact caused severe head injuries. He was immediately taken to the Atlanta Medical Center intensive care unit.

According to 'Comicbook.com', Bernecker ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The experienced series and film stuntman recently showed his skills in 'Get Out', 'Fast & Furious 8', '22 Jump Street 'and' The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 '.

Filming for 'The Walking Dead' has meanwhile ceased, as 'AMC' announced. When these will be resumed is still unclear. However, a next date has already been set. Next week the actors of 'The Walking Dead' are expected at Comic-Con in San Diego. The launch date and the new trailer for the eighth season of the series are to be published there.
