Actor Michael Massee, who played drug dealer Funboyin the film, fired at Lee during a scene which with a gun that was later found to have been be improperly loaded.
Dummy bullets had been replaced with cardboard wadding, but a bullet fragment had broken off and remained in the gun.
That metal tip from the dummy bullet hit Lee's abdomen. The son of the renowned martial-arts master and actor Bruce Lee was 28.
Lee's family released a statement following Hutchins death.
"Our hearts go out to the family of Halyna Hutchins and to Joel Souza and all involved in the incident on "Rust"," the statement read. "No one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. Period."
Jon-Erik Hexum became famous in 1982 after snagging the lead role of Phineas Bogg in the NBC series "Voyagers!."

While filming, Hexum reportedly was playing around with a prop gun from a scene and shot himself in the head.
The blank drove a piece of his skull into his brain, and he was taken off of life support a week later. His character was later written off the show.
