It was a somber lunch date for Lauren Cohan on Friday.

The 35-year-old dressed down on the day, opting for black sandals, shorts and a tank top.

She kept her hair pinned back, wearing spectacles and a wicker handbag.
No doubt weighing heavily on her mind was the tragic loss of John Bernecker, who died after falling 25 foot from a balcony on the Georgia set.
After hearing the horrible news, Lauren tweeted: 'Dear Walking Dead Family, please keep John Bernecker, our stuntman and his family in your prayers today.'

She later added: 'No words can express my sadness for John Bernecker and his family. Thank you all for having them in your thoughts and prayers also.'
Sources claimed John suffered swelling to the brain, while a coroner confirmed that he died of blunt force trauma after losing his footing and falling while rehearsing a fight scene with actor Austin Amelio, who plays Negan henchman Dwight.
The scene was meant to end with a fall from the balcony, but went horrifically wrong.

Bernecker was reportedly shooting a scene on a balcony with Amelio. The script called for Bernecker to fall more than 20 feet to the ground, where there was a safety cushion in place according to TMZ.
But the stuntman was unable to get good separation from the balcony when he started falling and 'attempted to abort the fall by grabbing onto the railing with both hands,' according to assistant director Matthew Goodwin.
He then apparently slammed into the bottom of the balcony before falling, landing on his head and neck, missing the safety cushion 'just by inches.'
