A man has died after being seriously injured at a film studio in Edinburgh.
Emergency crews were called to FirstStage studio in Leith at about 15:00 on Thursday.
The man, who has not been named, was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police Scotland said the death was not being treated as suspicious but inquiries into the circumstances were ongoing. The Health and Safety Executive said it was "aware" of the incident.
FirstStage is the studio behind popular dramas including Netflix's Department Q and the Amazon Prime exclusive, The Rig.

FirstStage was started by Sean Connery's son, Jason, and took over an empty former warehouse unit in Leith in 2020.
The "big blue shed" includes five sound stages and production office space.
Screen Scotland invested £1m towards the initial set up of the facility.
Prior to that, it was used as a film studio for part of the production of Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War, which was partially set in Edinburgh.
