London, August 19 : A Bulgarian stuntman has died while trying to recreate an action scene from the adventure series of "Indiana Jones" at Disney World.

Anislav Varbanov fell while practising a "tumbling roll" and suffered a brain injury during the rehearsal at the attraction in Orlando, Florida.

The 30-year-old athlete had been preparing the routine for the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, a half-hour show that recreates scenes from the hit films, reports the Sun.

The show, performed in the Hollywood Studios section of the park, depicts an Indy lookalike being chased by a boulder, leaping from an exploding aircraft and beating villains.

Police and health and safety officials had stepped in to investigate the incident while performances were cancelled. (ANI)
