The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

An inquest is due to begin this month into the death of a special effects technician, who was tragically killed on the set of the latest Batman movie.

Conway Wickliffe lost his life in a stunt accident in September 2007 on the set of The Dark Knight after the truck carrying his camera platform collided with a tree.

New Zealand native Wickliffe, who was reportedly filming a Batmobile sequence at the time, died at the scene.

According to the BBC, the inquest into the cause of the incident will be held at Woking Coroner's Court in Surrey, England - close to where the film was shot.

Movie bosses paid tribute to Wickliffe and the film's late star Heath Ledger- who died from an overdose in January- with a special dedication to the tragic pair at the end of the film, which was released in the summer.
