He was taken to hospital in critical condition, but doctors were unable to keep him alive.
A sound engineer working on Tom Hanks' new film has died after falling from a balcony during filming in Pennsylvania.
Mount Lebanon's police were called late Thursday night to a building where the filming of You Are My Friend, starring Tom Hanks, was taking place. This is a biography of Fred Rogers, the legendary presenter of a children's TV show in the USA.
According to local media, James Emswiller, a 61-year-old sound technician, had fallen from the balcony. Emswiller, who was awarded an Emmy for his work in 2015, "was alone on the balcony smoking a cigarette when he probably had a health problem," causing him to lose his balance and fall into a vacuum, police said.
He was taken to hospital in critical condition, but doctors were unable to keep him alive.
Filming of the film starring Tom Hanks was stopped immediately, at least until the police investigation into the case is completed. However, everything shows that this was not a criminal act, it is emphasized in the announcement of the police authorities.
Sony Pictures studio spoke of "tragedy" and clarified that it is also conducting its own research.
In the film, Tom Hanks plays the host of the popular children's series "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" which was played in the USA from 1968 to 2001.
