It was later determined that the death was the result of a confluence of several different events. A couple of weeks earlier, the Smith & Wesson Model 629 revolver was used in a close-up shot that required real bullets (minus gunpowder) called “dummy rounds.” This is done because blanks don’t have an actual bullet, which is noticeable in close-up. One of those bulllets got stuck in the gun barrel and wasn’t noticed by the prop assistant who loaded the blanks (the firearms specialist had been sent home earlier by the production company). So, when the gun was fired at Lee in the scene, it dislodged the dummy round, killing him.
