ABC Press(LOS ANGELES) — An as-yet-unidentified crew member died from what was described as a “fatal medical event” on the set of the ABC sitcom The Conners Thursday evening.
According to TMZ, the staff member was on a catwalk at Stage 22 at the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles, where the show is filmed, when he suffered the fatal event. Set medics were unable to resuscitate him, the gossip site said.
