A man has died at an Edinburgh film studio used to create Amazon and Netflix series.

The man, who has not been publicly named, was found at FirstStage Studios near the Leith docks with serious injuries.

The alarm was raised at about 3pm yesterday, and the emergency services responded.

He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead a short time later, Police Scotland said.

A spokesperson for the force said: ‘The death is not being treated as suspicious however inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.’

The expansive studio near the shore in Leith features 115,000 sq ft of stage space and capacity for hundreds of vehicles for large productions and sets.

Its website says that since its opening the studio ‘has been home to multiple series for Amazon Prime and Netflix’ and has worked with major production companies.

‘We hosted the BAFTA nominated independent feature The Outrun including the facility’s first underwater shoot, alongside smaller features, commercials, brand productions and unit base hosting for major feature films.’
