Disappearance

On 6 October 2011, Lagerlöf disappeared during preparations for the filming of Camilla Läckberg's Fjällbackamorden - Strandriddaren while scouting a planned filming location in the Tjurpannan nature reserve, with two crew members. The trio had split up but Lagerlöf did not meet up with the group again as planned. Lagerlöf left behind a wife and three children.[1]

It is believed Lagerlöf was caught on slippery rocks by large waves sweeping the area and pulled out to sea near the steep cliffs outside Tanumshede in Bohuslän.[1] There were no witnesses to what actually happened. As of 2024, no remains have been found, and Lagerlöf is presumed deceased.[2][3][4]
