The producer of "The Lone Ranger" was fined $60,000 for the death of a crew member who died on set in Polsa Rosa, California.

A 48-year-old diver drowned in September while cleaning a water tank in preparation for shooting an underwater scene at the Polsa Rosa Ranch in northern Los Angeles County, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The film starring Johnny Depp was fined $60,000 by state regulators for citing numerous safety violations in connection with the death of the crew member, the Times reported. Silver Bullet Production Inc. was cited for various violations of the state labor code after an investigation by California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health.

A copy obtained by the Times cited "serious" citations of the producers of "The Lone Ranger" for not having a standby diver available while another was in the water. It was also required to provide a medical examination to determine if the employee's medical fitness to dive, which the producer allegedly did not do.

The report also said, "The employer failed to ensure that all employees (diver team members) engaged in a diving operation to clean a deep pool/water tank located at the Polsa Rosa Ranch were trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, diver rescue techniques and diving related first aid."

The Walt Disney studio movie producers were also noted to not have proper "documentation of safety and health training for all employees."

In a statement last fall, Disney noted that incident did not occur during filming, but was conducting its own investigation.

Depp's next adventure, "The Lone Ranger" opens in theatres in July, based on the American Old West character and also stars Armie Hammer.
