A cinematographer drowned on the set of Jackie Chan's new movie Skiptrace after the vessel he was filming on capsized on Wednesday morning.
Chan Kwok-hung, 51, was shooting a scene from aboard the small vessel 30 metres from the north shore of Lantau Island in Hong Kong, China when it capsized around 3am local time.
Seven other crew members swam back to shore shortly after the accident, but Kwok-hung was later found unconscious. He was declared dead at North Lantau Hospital.
Jackie Chan and his co-star Fan Bingbing were not believed to be on board the boat.
The marine police are investigating the incident and have been in touch with the surviving crew members.
Tenky Tin Kai-man, chairman of the Movie Production Executives Association, said the company will raise money for Kwok-hung's family.
