55-year-old Arab actor Mahmud al-Sawalka has passed away while filming a death scene, it has been revealed. The whole crew was in shock after the actor collapsed dead in front of the cameras. 

 

The star, who is well-known in the Middle East for his performances especially in historical dramas, died in Jordan's capital Amman. 

 

Before he died, the experienced actor strayed from the script of the TV series Blood Brothers, leaving the crew bewildered. 

 

The actor was supposed to “die” after being shot while saying: "I want you to bury me with your bare hands."

 

However, he said "I have the feeling that I'm going to die soon" before really dying.

 

The cause of death is yet to be determined.
