The police investigations into the accident on the film set are ongoing. In November, the gunsmith’s lawyers brought “sabotage” into play. Someone could have put a live ammunition bullet in a box of harmless dummy cartridges to sabotage the shoot, lawyer Jason Bowles said in a TV interview at the time. The gun master had denied allegations of negligence on the set.
