Johnny Depp's Lone Ranger Flick Shrouded In Sadness, Diver Drowns On The Set

Ugh! This is tragic.

A member of the Lone Ranger production crew has died on set after drowning Friday morning.

The deceased was a diver working in a water tank on the El Lay set for an underwater scene. No word on what exactly went wrong, but by the time emergency responders arrived, he was in full cardiac arrest.

Although the diver was flown via helicopter to a nearby hospital, EMTs weren't able to revive his heart and he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

So sad! We wonder what Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney will have to say about this?

Either way, our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's family during this unexpected tragedy.
