Matthew Hutchins, Halyna Hutchins' husband, however said that all parties involved believe that the death was an accident.
"I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame," Matthew Hutchins said in a statement, adding that the continuation of the filming would be a way to "pay tribute" to his late wife's final work.
