Pity. At least Mila Jovovich can still make some millions. And people will be able to enjoy the fanservice.

I wonder if the poor guy will be credited in the credits in some way to show he died on set?

Read an article about that British woman who had the bike accident on set also needing her arm amputated now. Seems like safety on this set was not of much concern. But then again, the movie is shot in SA so if they try and skimp on cheap locations I suppose safety is also skimped on
