    Police are investigating an apparent suicide at Trilith Studios in the Atlanta suburb of Fayetteville, GA.

    Officers and medical personnel responded to a report of an “unconscious adult contractor” inside a vehicle on the studio property at around 6:47 a.m. Wednesday, according to a police statement. The unidentified person was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police say foul play is not suspected and the investigation is not connected to any ongoing studio projects.

    A crew member told Deadline the dead worker as a Teamster, but that has not been confirmed.

    Deadline has reached out to the Teamsters and other unions, and Trilith Studios and we will update this story if/when we receive a response.

    Located south of Atlanta, Trilith Studios is comprised of a 700-acre site, with a 400-acre backlot and 32 soundstages. Originally known as Pinewood Atlanta Studios, Trilith has been used to produce many television series, including Marvel’s WandaVision and Loki and movies such as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The first production to film at the studio was Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man (2015). The studio was renamed Trilith Studios in October 2020.
