The actor was quickly taken to a local medical facility where he immediately underwent surgery for the injuries he sustained. Renner's representatives would later give fans an update, saying that the actor was in a "critical but stable" condition.

Unsurprisingly, several conspiracy theories about the accident surfaced online with the most persistent speculation being that the Hawkeye actor was the victim of an attempted foul play.

Now, the Washoe County Sheriffs have released a brand new update, shedding light on the unfortunate event. In a press conference (via ComicBook), Sheriff Darin Balaam iterated that the idea of Renner's accident being an orchestrated crime has been ruled out and it was nothing more than a "tragic accident".

Balaam said: "At this point in the investigation we do not believe Mr. Renner was impaired at all and we believe this is a tragic accident. Washoe Sheriff's Office is in possession of his PistenBully (the snowcat) and we are analyzing it to rule out any potential mechanical failure of why it may have started to roll. This is part of our normal investigation process for any major investigation. As I mentioned earlier this investigation is ongoing. However, we do not suspect any foul play, I want to repeat that, we do not suspect any foul play. We believe this was a tragic accident."
