From Wikipedia:
Early in 2002,, Kevin Smith (who was preparing for his first Hollywood role in the Bruce Willis action film "Tears of the Sun") went to China to shoot the US-Chinese martial arts film "Warriors of Virtue 2", which would allow him to work with the stuntman from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
On February 6, 2002, Smith completed his work on the set in Shijiazhuang, 270 km southwest of Beijing. After celebrating with staff from Beijing Film Studio and while waiting for a ride back to the hotel, he decided to walk around the Central China Television film studio grounds and climbed a prop tower on the set of another film. He lost his footing and fell several stories, suffering severe head injuries. Smith was rushed by staff to a local hospital then transferred to Beijing. He lapsed into a coma and was kept on life support for 10 days until life support was discontinued. He died February 15 without regaining consciousness.
Smith was buried after a private funeral February 28, 2002. The launch of the Kevin Smith Trust for Smith's children was announced later that day at a memorial service attended by old friends, New Zealand's acting community, and over a thousand mourners at the Aotea Centre, Auckland.
A television documentary celebrating Smith's life and career, "Remembering Kev: A Tribute to Kevin Smith", aired on TV2 on the first anniversary of his death.
