Eminem's Stunt Double Ryan Shepard Dies At 40 Hit By Car

Ryan Shepard, who acted as Eminem's stunt double in the early 2000s, has died tragically losing his life after getting hit while attempting to cross the street. Ryan's brother Kyle says Ryan died in Washington at the end of January after getting hit by an oncoming pickup truck. Emergency responders rushed him to a hospital, but it was too late. Ryan worked not only as Eminem's stunt double but also as his photo double and stand-in appearing at the MTV Movie Awards as Eminem's superhero character, Rap Boy. He took the stage again with the rapper for his 2002 Anger Management Tour, and on his Japan and Europe tour the following year he also appeared in D12's "Purple Hills" music video as Eminem's double.
