Apparent suicide at Disney World resort days after Disneyland guest dies
A body was found Tuesday evening at a Walt Disney World resort in what Florida authorities identified as an apparent suicide, days after a Disneyland guest lost consciousness at the California park and ultimately died.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office tells TMZ that deputies were alerted to the presence of a deceased person at the Florida theme park’s Contemporary Resort, located just steps from the Magic Kingdom.
OCSO told TMZ and WKMG’s Click Orlando that it was an apparent suicide.
The hotel’s monorail stop was out of service amid the incident, according to a Disney World Reddit thread.
The Daily News reached out to Disney and OCSO to clarify the individual’s identifying details, none of which were immediately available.
Last week, a woman in her 60s became unconscious during the Haunted Mansion ride — part of which includes a walking tour — and was ultimately pronounced dead at a hospital near Disney’s Anaheim park.
An anonymous source said the woman suffered a heart attack and was “declared DOA once she arrived at the hospital,” according to “Disney Scoop Guy” Matt Desmond at the time.
