Warner Bros has reportedly stopped paying the medical bills of Ed Helms' stunt double Scott McLean, who has permanent brain damage and ongoing seizures after his head was smashed during a badly timed stunt involving an oncoming vehicle in 'The Hangover Part II.'

After the accident McLean remained in coma for months; his partner of 15 years, Raelene Chapman, said that she has been left disappointed, upset and disgusted with this, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Bradley Cooper's Australian stunt double Ashley Fairfield said that he was one of the other stunt performers in the car with Scott when the accident occurred and was appalled that WB turned their backs on their agreement to pay for all his medical expenses.
