‘No one should be killed on set’: tragic history of fatalities during filming

On-set deaths like Halyna Hutchins' remain thankfully rare - but only one film director has been convicted in the US for such incidents

Safety on film and TV sets is under renewed scrutiny following the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by actor and producer Alec Baldwin during production on Rust, a western being filmed in New Mexico.

Baldwin, who has been questioned and released by the Santa Fe authorities, also shot director Joel Souza in what has been described as an accident involving a prop gun.
