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.
The company in charge of the filming process issued a statement, in which it said that the entire team is "devastated" by the fact, and promised to offer psychological help to all the people who work for the filming.
The police have not pressed charges against the actor, but the case continues to be investigated, while they interview those who were present in the accident.
