What happens

Cover Up is a television series that aired for one season on CBS from September 22, 1984, to April 6, 1985. Created by Glen A. Larson, it starred Jennifer O'Neill, Jon-Erik Hexum, Antony Hamilton, and Richard Anderson. The series earned mediocre ratings, but is remembered for the untimely death of Hexum from a fatal accident from the misuse of a prop handgun with a blank cartridge against his head. That led to not only Hexum's role being recast, but also stricter industry armorer rules about the handling of firearm props in recognition of the hazards of blanks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
