Demian added that Echon was more than just a stunt double or team manager. “He’s my best friend and we’ve known each other for 15 years […] he’s like an older brother to me."
According to kompas.com, one of Echon’s family members said that his family did not blame Demian as both their families are close.
Demian performed a stunt on Wednesday called “The Death Drop”, in which he was seen trapped in a wooden casket and forced to escape before it dropped. However, on Thursday night, photos of Echon circulated online showing that it was him trapped inside the casket. Echon was immediately taken to the hospital. (wir/kes)
