Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer J.C. “Spike” Osorio, the rigger who died on the set of Marvel series “Wonder Man” last week, fell when the wooden catwalk gave way beneath his feet, according to three sources familiar with the accident. Osorio was working at Stage 3 at Radford Studio Center in L.A.’s Studio City when the accident occurred at 6:42 a.m.
on Feb. 6. Bystanders told paramedics that Osorio fell about 50 feet.
CPR was unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. According to a source who was at the scene, one of the wooden supports that held up a section of the catwalk gave way. The planks that rested on top of the support fell away, and Osorio fell through the catwalk.
That account was confirmed by an IATSE official who arrived on the scene shortly afterward, and who asked not to be identified due to the pending investigation. “This wasn’t the member’s fault,” the union official said. “He wasn’t doing anything wrong.” A second IATSE official also confirmed that account.
“As tragic as it is, I think it is a rather simple case,” the person said. Cal/OSHA is conducting the investigation, which may take several months, according to a spokesperson for the agency. The agency declined to comment while the investigation is open.
A spokesperson for Radford Studio Center expressed condolences for the death. “We are deeply saddened by the death of Juan ‘Spike’ Osorio and offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends,” the spokesperson said. “We continue to fully cooperate with the ongoing investigations.” Osorio’s family has retained attorneys who specialize in wrongful death and personal injury cases.
