A member of the “Roseanne” spin-off team, “The Conners”, suffered a “medical event” on the set and died on Thursday, according to a spokeswoman for the show’s producer.
The technical staff member, who was not identified, was working on Stage 22 at the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles at the time of the “fatal medical event”, said Werner Media, which produces “The Conners”.
“He has been a very dear member of the ‘The Conners’ and ‘Roseanne’ families for over 25 years. As we remember our dear colleague, we ask that you respect the privacy of your family and loved ones when they begin their grieving process. “. the spokesman said in a statement.
The ABC program, starring original Roseanne cast members John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson and Michael Fishman, is in its third season.
A previous “Roseanne” revival was canceled in response to a racist statement made on Twitter by Roseanne Barr.
