A Hungarian construction worker was killed while dismantling one of the sets for the untitled Blade Runner sequel at Budapest's Origo Studios on Thursday, Alcon Entertainment has confirmed to Mashable.

The victim, whose identity was not immediately revealed, was working beneath a platform on which the set was constructed when it suddenly collapsed.

The cause of the accident remains undetermined, though an investigation is expected.
