In a statement from the AFP Agency, it was known that the 63-year-old actor voluntarily spoke with detectives about what had happened.
Filming was halted and psychological help was offered
For the entire production team, the loss has been terrible, which is why the filming was interrupted. This information was released by the Baldwin team.
