A Cirque du Soleil performer has died in Las Vegas after falling some 15 metres during a performance of the stage show Ka.
Frenchwoman Sarah Guyard-Guillot, 31, the mother of two young children aged 8 and 5 years old, was pronounced dead shortly before midnight Saturday, local time, after plummeting from the vertical stage during the production’s climax.
Hers is the first reported death from an accident onstage in the French Canadian company’s 30-year history.
