  • Earlier this week, “The Crow” actor Michael Massee died at the age of 61 of an unknown cause.
    Massee was unfortunately most known for accidentally killing Brandon Lee on the set of their movie “The Crow” in 1993. In 2005, he broke his silence on the freak accident, telling “Extra,” “Since then, I’m very conscious of the dangers of making a movie… What happened to Brandon was a tragic accident and it’s something that I’m going to live with.” This was the only time Massee spoke out about the tragedy in front of cameras.

    He passed, yet every headline mentions how he accidentally killed Brandon. It's disgusting. His death was tragic, but the fact that he had to live with it is just as worse. Imagine having to apologize to his family and friends knowing it wasn't your fault. Imagine people hating you for that. Imagine the impact of having to try and film anything else with a prop and being afraid of something bad happening. It's one thing to kill in war, another to be evil and kill for pleasure or revenge, but being feeling responsible for a death that was 100% not your fault? Life-shattering.

      I don’t blame him at all in fact a lot of people understood it wasn’t his fault he didn’t mean it nobody means to do that at least he takes responsibility and doesn’t act like a coward like Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin never even wants to admit he made a mistake he just wants to blame the tool he just wants to blame everybody else but him like everything is a conspiracy to Alec Baldwin even the FBI say this is outrageous. All had to deal with admit the same as what Michael Massee admitted. If Alec Baldwin admitted what he had done he would’ve gotten a pass but instead nope he is the biggest selfish ass.

      @@monkeycat48 I think part of it is that Alec Baldwin is an overindulged Hollywood A-lister whose fame got to his head and instilled a sense of self-importance and narcissism, which is why he is unwilling to take responsibility and likely feels he is a bigger victim than the actual victim, who nobody ever talked about before what happened
      Michael Massee was never much of a household name, he treated his acting career as just a job, and thus he felt as crushed by what happened as, say, a construction worker would feel if a fatal industrial accident happened in their hands on the site

    Just by watching this, you can tell that Michael Massee has continuously suffered from the accidental killing of Brandon Lee. I don't think Brandon would have wanted Michael to continue to suffer for this tragic accident and I hope that Michael and Brandon, where ever they are now have spoken in the after life and found ultimate forgiveness and peace with one another...I believe that there is an after life and I do believe that Brandon and Michael went to heaven and that they have finally found peace. I have found out that Michael died at the age of 64 and it was stomach cancer (which is what my grandfather died from in the early 1970s). God bless you Brandon and God bless your Michael, may you both rest in peace.

      Siya Manci A real bullet tip was lodged in the gun due to a decision decision to convert real bullets into blanks and dummy rounds. The belief is that a dummy round still had a live primer with enough Force to pop the bullet tip into the barrel of the gun, and it was not properly checked before someone put a blank into the gun and handed it to the actor.

He was great actor who suffered much from this tragedy. He didn't kill Brandonon purpose, he didn't know about the gun and like he said you will never get over such thing. He is not a murderer.

Furthermore, when you attend weapons training, you put all of your faith in the firearm instructor to have everything in check. It's a similar situation here.
