A dead body has been discovered at a South Korean filming location for upcoming Marvel sequel 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'. Mapo Bridge was closed to the public between 6:00am and 5:30pm on 30 March for the shoot, during which a security guard spotted a body floating in the water below. This was the first time the bridge - an infamous suicide spot in Korea - had been closed due to filming. Hankooki (via Kotaku) report that the corpse was discovered around 2:15pm while the cameras were still rolling. Filming continued as the reportedly two-week-old body was recovered. Security was tight on the set, with over 100 security guards and 160 Korean police keeping the area on lock down during both the filming and the concurrent retrieval of the as-of-yet unidentified body. Real Time Korea report that the bridge is so well-known as a suicide hotspot that the government decided to signpost slogans like "The most shining moment of your life has yet to come" there in an attempt to deter potential jumpers.
