Smith´s agent Robert Bruce said today he wanted to clarify the details of Smith´s death on behalf of Smith´s wife and family. In China to film United States movie Warriors of Virtue II, Smith had fallen while climbing a tower at the CCTV Film Studios in the Hebie Province to check out some sets. He "apparently fell several metres onto a stone base after hitting his head several times on the way down", Mr Bruce said. Smith, 38, was semi-conscious when taken to the local hospital for a CT scan, after which it was decided to take him to the main hospital in Beijing. "It was while at this hospital that Kevin fell into a deep coma," Mr Bruce said in a statement. "After several days in the coma Kevin showed signs of recovery but unfortunately on the fourth day his body went into shock and he subsequently passed away on Friday (February 15)." Earlier reports said Smith had been celebrating with the staff from Chinese production house Beijing Film Studio when the accident happened. Mr Bruce said that because there were no suspicious circumstances and no post-mortem required, no police investigation was done. Two of Smith´s personal doctors flew from New Zealand to observe his treatment, but were not actively involved. The New Zealand government was helping to return Smith´s body and his family to New Zealand as soon as possible. Smith, who was voted New Zealand´s sexiest man last December, was about to head to the United States to film his first Hollywood movie, playing a navy man in the $166 million blockbuster A Man of War, starring Bruce Willis. Smith had a string of television roles in programmes such as McPhail and Gadsby, Gloss, City Life, Lawless, Xena Warrior Princess, and Hercules. He starred in the New Zealand films Desperate Remedies and Channelling Baby. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne, and sons, Oscar, 11, Tyrone, nine, and Willard, three.
