Man dies after being seriously injured at Edinburgh film studio

A man has died after being seriously injured at a film studio in Edinburgh.

Emergency crews were called to FirstStage studio in Leith at about 15:00 on Thursday.

The man, who has not been named, was pronounced dead a short time later.

Police Scotland said the death was not being treated as suspicious but inquiries into the circumstances were ongoing. The Health and Safety Executive said it was “aware” of the incident.

FirstStage is the studio behind popular dramas including Netflix’s Department Q and the Amazon Prime exclusive, The Rig.

BBC Scotland News understands filming of the latest series of Department Q wrapped up at the facility last month.
