Sergey Bodrov Jr
The young actor died on September 20, 2002 on the set of his film «The Messenger» in the Karmadon Gorge. He and about a hundred people were covered by an avalanche with huge stones, which was caused by the fact that a block of ice fell on Mount Jimara and hit the Kolka Glacier, moved it from its place. Tried to somehow explain the cause of the death of the actor and the crew, people connected the tragedy with the mystical script of the film that never came out for rent, which Sergey Bodrov wrote independently. But local residents are sure that the cause of the incident could also be the fact that the film crew disturbed the peace of the spirits of the ancient cemetery, which was located near the film set.
