An Oscar-winning special effects expert has been cleared of health and safety breaches over the death of a cameraman during filming of the last Batman film.
Christopher Corbould, 53, had denied failing to ensure the safety of Conway Wickliffe, 41, who died during a test run for an action sequence.
The father-of-two suffered severe head injuries and died at the scene in Chertsey, Surrey.
The accident happened during filming of Batman: The Dark Knight in 2007.
Mr Corbould, 53, had denied failing to ensure Mr Wickliffe’s safety during filming for the movie starring the late Heath Ledger.
Guildford Crown Court was heard Mr Wickliffe was leaning out of a car when the vehicle failed to negotiate a bend and hit a tree.
An inquest hearing in Woking, in November 2008, ruled his death was an accident.
