Details remain sketchy except that, at press time, stuntman Christopher Sayour was still in ‘very serious condition,’ more than a week after falling 12 metres on the set of Smallville in Langley, B.C.
Sayour suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries on July 26 and was airlifted to hospital in New Westminster, B.C., where his condition was upgraded from critical to serious. Don McLaughlin, a spokesman for the regional medical authority Fraser Health, would not elaborate.
When Bob Scarabelli died suddenly of a heart attack last September, British Columbia’s film community went into mourning. The loss of homegrown entrepreneur Scarabelli, who started Vancouver post-production house Rainmaker, shook an industry already grappling with its own health problems.
