Up

Cover Up is an American action/adventure television series that aired for one season on CBS from 1984 to 1985.

During a break between scenes on the Cover-Up set on October 12, 1984, Jon-Erik Hexum jokingly placed a blank-loaded .44 Magnum prop gun to his temple and pulled the trigger.

The shot sent the wadding from the blank cartridge into Hexum's skull, driving a bone fragment the size of a quarter into his brain and causing massive hemorrhaging.

Hexum was rushed to the hospital, where he eventually was declared brain dead. On October 18, he was taken off life support and his organs were harvested for transplant.

Hexum appeared in only seven episodes of the series, including the pilot. He was replaced by Antony Hamilton for the remainder of the season.
