The family of 25-year-old David Holmes, stuntman and double for Daniel Radcliffe,
issued a statement about Holmes' recent accident on the set of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at Leavesden Studios in England.
Quote:
"We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We are trusting in the expertise of the medical staff who are caring for David and would ask the media to please respect the privacy of our family while we concentrate on helping each other through this difficult time."
Holmes reportedly seriously injured his back when he took a fall while performing a stunt in the air during which there was an explosion.
The government agency Health and Safety Executive is currently investigating the accident.
