Overview

• The Orange County Sheriff’s Office released a partially redacted incident report and dispatch audio showing first responders performed CPR on the Stardust Racers loading platform on Sept. 17.
• Authorities identified the victim as 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, who was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead at 10:05 p.m.
• Dispatch audio referenced a laceration, and officials said no 911 calls were received because riders must store phones before boarding the coaster.
• The incident report notes Zavala used a wheelchair, had a pre-existing spinal injury, and was taking medication, with no public finding that these factors contributed to his death.
• State agriculture inspectors are on site, Universal and manufacturer Mack Rides say they are cooperating, the death was ruled accidental by the medical examiner, and Stardust Racers remains closed pending investigations.
