    I did mean The Captive, yes. I knew there were instances of death by blanks, but didn’t realize one of them involved love ammo too.

      If you mean the one during The Crow that didn’t involve live ammo either. The gun was loaded with dummy cartridges used for closeups that contained only primer but did have a bullet. Someone pulled the trigger on one and the primer was enough to propel the bullet into the barrel. Later in the production it was loaded with blanks but procedures weren’t followed and no one checked the barrel for obstructions.

        And from my reading, it doesn’t look like anyone was ever charged in that case. Was that referenced at all in this case?
