No Autopsy Planned After Woman Dies Following Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Ride

No autopsy will be conducted, leaving no public cause of death.

Overview

  • Anaheim police told People that the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner did not take custody of the body, so an autopsy will not be completed and no official cause will be released.
  • Emergency crews responded around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 after a woman in her 60s was found unresponsive just after finishing the Haunted Mansion; park security performed CPR before she was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.
  • Authorities describe the incident as an unfortunate medical episode and report no indication of any operating issue with the attraction, which reopened shortly after safety checks.
  • Officials have withheld the woman’s identity and further personal details, and early claims of a heart attack have not been confirmed by the coroner or police.
  • The slow-moving, long-running ride is generally considered low intensity, and the death comes weeks after a separate, unrelated fatality at Universal’s Epic Universe that was ruled multiple blunt impact injuries.
