STUNT GONE WRONG! Rapper dies while wing-walking during video shoot
A 34-year-old Canadian rapper, Jon James McMurray, has died while filming a stunt video scene on the wing of a plane.
The professional freeskier, rapper, filmmaker and stunt artist fell to his death in British Columbia while filming a video in which he was walking on the wing of a plane while rapping.
The British Columbia’s coroner’s service said McMurray had been with a team making videos of plane stunts and parachuting on Saturday.
The plane reportedly landed safely and no one else was injured in the accident, which occurred in Vernon.

The sad news was confirmed by his manager, Ryan Desrochers, in a statement on Tuesday.
The statements read;
“As Jon got further out onto the wing of the plane, it caused the small Cessna to go into a downward spiral that the pilot couldn’t correct,” Desrochers’ statement said.
“Jon held onto the wing until it was too late, and by the time he let go, he didn’t have time to pull his chute. He impacted and died instantly.
“Jon was an incredibly passionate person and was always smiling. He filled everyone around him with positivity, and never spoke poorly about another person. He truly had a heart of gold.
“His passion for making music videos and performing stunts were combined, and Jon pushed music in a new direction that was uncharted territory.”
