A man has died after being seriously injured at FirstStage film studios in Leith, Edinburgh. Police Scotland said the death was not being treated as suspicious, but inquiries into the circumstances were continuing.
Emergency services were called to the studio at about 15:00 on Thursday. The man, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. The Health and Safety Executive said it was aware of the incident.
FirstStage has five sound stages and production offices. The facility has hosted productions including Netflix’s *Department Q* and Amazon Prime’s *The Rig*. Filming on the latest series of *Department Q* wrapped there last month, according to BBC Scotland News.
The studio opened in a former warehouse in 2020. Screen Scotland contributed £1m towards its initial set-up.
