Overview

• Kevin Rodríguez Zavala, 32, died after riding Stardust Racers, with the medical examiner ruling the death accidental from multiple blunt impact injuries.
• Universal’s internal review and preliminary findings by Florida’s agriculture department say the coaster operated as intended, with equipment intact and procedures followed.
• The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is conducting a manslaughter-style death investigation, which officials say is standard to determine whether any negligence occurred.
• At a Wednesday news conference, Crump said the family wants maintenance logs, inspection records, ride data, and video; he described Zavala as fully independent and argued his spinal condition did not contribute.
• Stardust Racers has remained closed since Sept. 17 during a multiagency review with manufacturer Mack Rides, and records show two non-fatal incidents were previously reported in June.
