The scene purportedly remained in the film.The other nominee for dead stunt man was the charioteer who fell and tried to roll out of the track. There was a chariot out of place and his neck was broken. Or so the story goes.
The rumour was so rife in the day it has become an "urban legend". I have never heard anyone who should really know confirm it, but then I did not go nuts chasing it down.
