\tWith its prestigious 100th episode on the way, it\u2019s a big year for \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d at San Diego Comic-Con, but the recent tragedy in \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d family is all anyone is thinking about right now.
\nIn the wake of stuntman John Bernecker\u2019s death, \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d is cancelling all Comic-Con press events according to Entertainment Tonight. The cast will now only participate in a panel and autograph sessions.
\nThe 33-year old stuntman died earlier this month after sustaining injuries from falling off of a balcony in a stunt that went wrong. Following the accident, there was an outpouring of love and sorrow from Bernecker\u2019s \u201cWalking Dead\u201d coworkers. Ahead of the Comic-Con panel, AMC released the premiere date for \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d Season 8 (Oct. 22) along with some art for the new season.<\/p>\n
\tBernecker reportedly suffered head injuries after falling over 20 feet onto a concrete floor and had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital. Prior to the news of his death AMC released a statement: “We are saddened to report that John Bernecker, a talented stuntman for \u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d and numerous other television shows and films, suffered serious injuries from a tragic accident on set. \u201cHe was immediately transported to an Atlanta hospital and we have temporarily shut down production. We are keeping John and his family in our thoughts and prayers.” \u201cWe have been informed of a serious injury to a SAG-AFTRA member on the set of The Walking Dead and are investigating the situation,\u201d a union spokesperson also said. \u201cAs always, the safety and security of our members and others on set is of crucial concern to us, and we are focused on this in our investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the performer and his family.” Bernecker had a prolific career as a stuntman, which included working on films such as Fate of the Furious, This Is The End, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, Get Out, Logan, as well as the upcoming Marvel movie, Black Panther. Additionally, Bernecker\u2019s IMDbpage had him listed as performing stunt work on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s upcoming movie, Rampage, which is still in production.\t<\/p>\n
\tUnfortunately, Death And Injuries Come With The Territory Of Being A Movie Stunt Person\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/b> \t\t<\/p>\n\t Susan Z\u2019 Conclusion:<\/h2>\n
\nAs most stuntman are adrenaline junkies but incredibly well trained and skilled at what they do, it is unfortunate when an unforeseen mishap brings death or injury. I do not think the investigation will find any wrongdoing but an error in judgement. My sense is that if choosing a way to check out, this would have been Bernecker\u2019s, doing what he loved. As in all life journeys, nothing is by accident and I am sure his death had a domino effect on everyone involved with the \u201cWalking Dead\u201d.<\/p>\n
\t The Star:\t<\/b>
\nThis is everything working out ok. It seems this would be an unusual card to pull in the event of a death but in the bigger picture of life, the soul sees death as just \u201cgoing home\u201d and a time for rejoicing. We design our life journey and choose the death window we will go through at the right time, so in life there are no accidents.<\/p>\n
\tThree of Pentacles: \t<\/b>
\nThis is a sign of future success. I feel this card was pulled in connection with Bernecker\u2019s successful career and the on-going success of the series he was working in at the time of his death.<\/p>\n
\t King of Swords:\t<\/b> \t Inverted (Upside Down)
\nThis is disruptive energy and bringing chaos. Since being a stuntman is always about taking risks, being pulled inverted shows of course, an unexpected outcome to the event.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
