A terrifying thing happened on one of actor Mel Gibson’s property Wednesday. A man allegedly put an end to his life by hanging from the rafter of a house on Sierra Creek Road in Agoura Hills, E!News reports. The residential construction site was on a lot owned by Gibson.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Detective Eddie Brown said that the man was discovered hanging after the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call at 8:09 AM telling them about the suicide. “Detectives along with paramedics arrived at the scene and the gentleman was pronounced dead on arrival. Cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles Coroner’s office,” Brown told E!News.

No information concerning the identity of the man was given. However, TMZ apparently found out that the man who committed suicide on Mel’s property was a 48-year-old construction foreman on movie sets, such as “The Matrix Reloaded,” “Dr. Dolittle 2,” “Star Trek: Nemesis,” and “Karate Kid II.,” whose name was Michael John Van Dyke.

TMZ also reveals the fact that the man was passing through a difficult period of time, divorcing a few years ago and having many financial troubles. Still, no connections were made between the foreman and the actor. A source close to Gibson told E!News that the actor never lived on that property and has no plans to move there anytime soon.

The property is located less than a mile from the Holy Family Catholic Church founded by Mel Gibson and a few miles away from the Oscar winner’s Malibu home. According to TMZ, the “Braveheart” star feels “terrible” that someone committed suicide on one of his properties, but he has no idea on who the man was.

On July 28, 2006 movie star, director and producer Mel Gibson was arrested by a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy for driving under the influence of alcohol along the Pacific Coast Highway. As a result, he was sentenced to three years probation. However, last month Malibu Superior Court Judge Lawrence Mira decided to let Gibson serve the rest of his probation without presenting himself in court again, telling him that this is going to be “the most difficult time” for him.
