The cameraman for Chan's latest film 'Skiptrace' was onboard a boat with other crew members when it capsized just out from the shore.
According to local reports, 7 other members of the crew were able to swim out from the capsized vessel but one man was found unconscious and later pronounced dead. Cameraman Chan Kwok-hung, an industry veteran, was 51-years-old with many movie credits to his name and over 20 years of experience
Jackie Chan was not onboard the boat at the time it capsized but there is conflicting information on who was on the boat at the time it went under.
