A man has died at an Edinburgh film studio that has hosted productions for Amazon and Netflix. The man, who has not been publicly named, was found at FirstStage Studios near the Leith docks with serious injuries.
The alarm was raised at about 3pm yesterday, and emergency services responded. He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead a short time later, Police Scotland said. His death is not being treated as suspicious, the police confirmed.

The expansive studio near the shore in Leith features 115,000 sq ft of stage space and capacity for hundreds of vehicles for large productions and sets.
Studio home to major productions
Its website says that since its opening the studio 'has been home to multiple series for Amazon Prime and Netflix' and has worked with major production companies. It also hosted the BAFTA nominated independent feature The Outrun, including the facility's first underwater shoot.
Metro has approached the studio for a comment.
