A fifth death has been reported at a Walt Disney World property, according to the park’s X account.
On Nov. 8, the account Walt Disney World: Active Calls — a profile that provides real-time sheriff response logs for the Walt Disney World property in Florida — initially reported a “person down” at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort in the afternoon. The account is not affiliated with Disney but tracks live dispatch data from the sheriff’s office. Shortly after, the account updated the report to indicate that the person had died. The death was later confirmed by the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office, according to TMZ.
This latest incident adds to a growing number of fatalities associated with the famed park. Back in October, the New York Post reported three separate deaths occurred at the Orlando property: one involving a 31-year-old guest at Disney’s Contemporary Resort who died by suicide; another case concerned a visitor in his 60s at the Fort Wilderness campground whose death was attributed to an existing health issue; and the third case also involved a man in his 60s.
Also in October, according to the Los Angeles Times, a woman in her 60s died after complications suffered as a result of riding the park’s Haunted Mansion ride. The outlet said that park representatives said the guest received on-site medical attention and was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital.
