Alec Baldwin accidentally killed Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography, on the set of the movie Rust.

He would have devised a plan to financially support her husband Matthew Hutchins and their 9-year-old son thanks to the benefits of the feature film and an insurance indemnity, reported the media.
