yes some person hung themself on the set. spooky
Yes its true, but its during the scene in Munchkin Land. One of the midgets hung themselves on set.
Listen to me!
IT WAS A BIRD!!!!
IT WAS A BIRD!!!!
this has been addressed numerous times by even the producer himself, who made a comment back in ' 65 (I think it was 65), saying that it was not a man hanging themselves.
do u honestly think they would keep the footage in the movie it someone did actually hang themselves!
Just a bit of extra trivia:
Here is a list of the deaths during Wizard of Oz
http://www.findagrave.com/php/famous.php...
This continues to hang around, but it is completely false. No one died or committed suicide on the set of "The Wizard of Oz"! The first poster obviously has fallen for this silly story. Don't you think someone would have noticed?!
Watch the video(s)! People have several; they can't even make up their minds as to which scene it is. So, did a bunch of people do themselves in?! No. NO ONE DID!
They had animals wandering about the set, including cranes and other large birds. I think there might even be a peacock or two.

I would copy and paste some of the information, but Snopes.com, which deals with all sorts of rumors, won't allow me to copy material. So, I hope the link works.
The Straight Dope site does let me copy, so I'm pasting some info!
The Straight Dope research department, known for its dogged investigative skills, tracked down Stephen Cox, author of an entertaining volume entitled The Munchkins of Oz (1996). Cox, who interviewed more than 30 Munchkins to collect stories about the making of the movie, dismissed the suicide story and hinted at an alternative theory, which we'll get to in a moment. He also put us in touch with Mickey Carroll, 78, one of 13 Munchkins still alive today (out of an original 124). Carroll said he'd first heard the story about five years ago but also thought it was bunk. "We were on the set for two months," he said. "I think I would have known if someone committed suicide." (Incidentally, several Munchkins did get fired--one for threatening his wife with a gun--but apparently none was the suicidal type.)
Well, OK. But then what are we seeing? Cox points out that if you look closely during the eight or nine minutes preceding the "suicide," i.e., from just before Dorothy and the Scarecrow encounter the apple-tossing trees, you can spot a large bird strolling around the set--maybe a crane or a stork. (For much of the time it appears to be tethered near the house on which the Wicked Witch perches.) Presumably the bird is supposed to provide atmosphere, but basically all it does is pop into the frame at odd moments. Reviewing the "suicide" with this in mind, we instantly realize: it's the stupid bird pecking the ground and then flapping its wings! Though, this being Hollywood Babylon and all, a naked woman's leg can't be entirely ruled out. But the adult in us knows the truth.

How about a third "witness"? TV Shark.com not only pooh-poohs this cinematic/urban legend but also has a clip of the scene in question~well, ONE of the scenes purported to show the suicide:

false
Not true. It is an Urban Legend. Go to www.snopes.com and look under movies and then under Wizard of Oz. It will explain everything to you.
it was a bird from the los angeles zoo.
