Amrik Singh Gill has been identified as the man who was killed when he was pinned by a five-tonne truck in Robert Burnaby Park on Monday.
Gill, a 59-year-old Delta resident, was working security on the set of Falling Skies, a science fiction drama broadcast on American network TNT, which was setting up for a shoot the following day.
Around 8:30 p.m., an unattended truck with a lowered tailgate rolled backwards down a hill and hit Gill, pinning him into a tree, according to a press release from the B.C. Coroners Service.
Gill was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital but died a short while later, the release stated.
Both the Coroners Service and WorkSafe B.C. as well local RCMP are investigating the incident, the release confirmed.
Trish Knight Chernecki, spokesperson for WorkSafe B.C., said her organization is putting together a full incident report, which will be available to the public at a later date.
