Channel 4 Orders Investigation After Producer On True Crime Series Takes His Own Life
Channel 4 is investigating after producer John Balson took his own life having worked on 'In The Footsteps Of Killers'.
According to his wife, he felt he was blamed by the production for a family declining to take part in the show and became exhausted leading to intense physical symptoms associated with vestibular migraine disorder, while his mental health deteriorated. He started work in January on the third season of In the Footsteps of Killer s, a true crime show in which Silent Witness actor Emilia Fox and criminologist David Wilson investigate famous cold cases. The industry must take urgent steps to address the unhealthy and counterproductive long-hours culture that leaves workers feeling isolated, burnt out and unable to sustain a healthy work/life balance.”
