On the set of 'Cover Up,' Hexum died after shooting himself in the head with a prop gun loaded with blanks , Hexum, who played a weapons expert, was said to constantly be playing with the guns as if they were toys.
He didn't know the blanks use paper or plastic wadding to seal gun powder into the shell, and that this wadding is propelled out of the barrel of the gun with enough force to cause severe injury or death if the weapon is fired at point-blank range. His last words are said to be
"Let's see if I get myself with this one."
