Third Death Reported at Disney World Amid Ongoing Investigations

ORLANDO, Florida — Walt Disney World has been shaken by a series of tragedies, with the third death confirmed on its property in just over a week. The most recent incident occurred at Disney’s Contemporary Resort on Thursday, according to reports by TMZ.

A TikTok video shared Thursday morning showed a significant police presence near a taped-off pool area at the resort. Witnesses reported hearing it labeled a ‘medical emergency.’ The Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office later confirmed the death but indicated that their examination was still underway.

This latest fatality follows two other deaths at Disney properties within ten days. On October 14, a 31-year-old woman died in an apparent suicide at the same Contemporary Resort. Just days later, on October 21, another man in his 60s was found dead at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground after suffering a medical episode.

Authorities have stated that there are no signs of foul play in the latest case. The sheriff’s office indicated the man was transported to a local hospital but passed away there.

The Contemporary Resort is known for its iconic A-frame structure, a luxury destination located within walking distance of Magic Kingdom. It has been associated with previous tragic incidents, fueling discussions about mental health among visitors.

In recent reports, social media posts claimed that security personnel asked guests not to look out their balcony windows due to the police activity. Some guests expressed confusion and fear about what had transpired.

Disney spokespersons have not yet released an official statement on the recent incidents. For people in crisis, help is available through resources like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by calling or texting 988.

The series of events has left a heavy cloud over the amusement park, also dubbed ‘The Most Magical Place on Earth,’ as the community reels from these tragedies.
