In a somber development, another death at Walt Disney World has been reported. According to TMZ, this latest incident took place at Disney’s Contemporary Resort on Thursday. While specific details surrounding the circumstances of the death remain unclear, Orange County officials are currently investigating the matter to determine the cause.
The unfortunate news arrives just two days after Entertainment Weekly disclosed that a man in his 60s passed away at a Florida hospital following a “medical episode” at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground on Tuesday. His wife reportedly found him unresponsive in their bed. Fortunately, there are no indications of foul play in this situation, according to the report by EW.
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is designed to reflect the timeless beauty of the American frontier. Spanning 750 acres of lush pine and cypress forests, the resort is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, ducks, and armadillos. Guests can enjoy scenic woodland trails and relaxing pool areas, making it a popular destination for families and nature lovers alike.
This incident marks the third reported death on or near a Disney World property within the last ten days. Just a week ago, on October 13, a guest tragically died from an apparent suicide near the Contemporary Resort, which is situated close to the iconic Magic Kingdom. Furthermore, on October 7, a woman in her 60s died after experiencing a medical emergency while riding the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in Anaheim. The specific cause of her death has yet to be disclosed.
These recent events have raised concerns and drawn attention to the safety and health protocols in place at Disney parks. As investigations continue, guests and families are reminded to prioritize safety and be aware of their surroundings while enjoying their visits to these popular destinations.
