No, he was killed by a squib load due to really dumb people making dummy cartridges.

Close.

 

The dummy cartridge is correct. To make the gun look loaded, they drained the gunpower from some catridges and replaced the bullet. But the aforementioned idiot left the primer caps live. In a previous shoot, the trigger was pulled on one of these "dummy" cartridges and the cap was just enough to lodge the bullet in the barrell. Because the bullet was in the barrell, it was missed when the gun was cleared and a blank cartridge was loaded. In the fatal shoot, the blank was fired which propelled the bullet into Brandon Lee's gut.

A squip is a small charge meant to burst a bloodpack or punch a hole in a wall. This was a blank in the gun. And it was the bullet that killed him, not the charge. Hence why I said "Close." not "Wrong."
