Hollywood stunt artist Dave Riggs, who has appeared in "Iron Man" and Bond movie "Casino Royale", was missing. But it is now confirmed that he was killed in a plane crash, reports contactmusic.com
Riggs was missing since Sep 17, when the accident happened in China. The plane which he was flying in preparation for a local airshow, crashed into a lake. The head of the search team Zhang Fang said Riggs crashed while attempting a stunt in which his plane's wheels were to drag along the lake surface at high speed.
Riggs' single-engine Lancair 320 plane broke into pieces on impact and some parts have been recovered, including one of its two seats.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation but the plane was not equipped with a "black box" recorder because of its small size.
His body was pulled out of the water and Riggs' translater was rescued shortly after the crash, but later died in the hospital.
