According to Walt Disney World Today, neither Disney nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has released a statement about this incident. Further details, including the identity of the person, have not been released.
The Five People Died at Walt Disney World in Less Than a Month
The latest incident at Walt Disney World occurred just weeks after the first person was found dead at the Contemporary Resort.
Summer Equitz, a 31-year-old Disney enthusiast, passed away after she reportedly jumped from the 12th floor of the Contemporary Resort. Initial reports claimed she was struck by a monorail train entering the resort, a claim that has since been debunked. Her death was ruled an “apparent suicide.”
One week after Equitz’s death, a man in his 60s died at Ford Wildness Resort & Campgrounds. A pre-existing medical condition caused his death. Two days later, a man identified as Matthew Cohn died from “multiple traumatic injuries” at the Contemporary Resort. His death was also ruled a suicide.
“At this time, we can confirm the manner of death was ruled suicide,” the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office spokesperson stated about Cohn. “Cause of death: multiple traumatic injuries.”
In early November, a woman in her 40s was found unresponsive at the Walt Disney World Pop Century Resort. She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she passed away. Law enforcement officials revealed there were no signs of foul play.
