No. There are a number of large birds that are seen on the ground along the Yellow Brick Road. They are tethered to keep them in place. In one shot of the film one of these birds is in a tree in the distance and flapping around on its tether and this is what started the rumor.

It was just a bird standing in the background that was like sticking it's wing out repeatedly. It was on that TV Myths and Legends show or whatever it's called on TV Land.

okay in the black and white version of the film, it kind of does look like a small person hanging themselves ad swinging back and forth, but when you watch the movie in color it is clearly a large bird spreading it's wings. watch these:

just look in the dead center of the short videos and you should see it happen towards the end. put it in full screen if you must. but it's just a bird.

I believe someone did will they were filming the movie but they placed birds that that no one would not about it.. I saw it when I was younger.. it was the director he believed that the movie would not make enough money on opening night so he hung himself in the back of the set..

It has been said that the directors daughter commited suicide on the set because she did not receive the part of Dorothy although some say its also a munchkin I think that people can fully back up that it is just a bird...Because if it was a person wouldnt they have tooken it totally out...or if they couldnt take it out then wouldnt the tinman, the scarecrow, or Dorothy freak out...I mean I would if I saw a dead person on my set if there not supposed to be there...Wouldnt you???

The scene that everyone is looking at does show a bird smimalir to a Crane but there is another part that no one looks at if you look at the scene before the yellow brick road song you can see in the background a dangilng body if you look closely above Dorathy's head

All I know is that I watched the scene where Dorothy was going up the yellow-brick road and it showed a person dangling somewhere through the trees. I'm not sure if a person actually died from it though. There were a few rumours floating about that they'd put a dummy up there for a joke, kind of like the boy by the window in Three Men And A Baby. But if it really WAS a person hanging there, it shouldn't have been a U-film.
