OCSO Investigates Possible Suicide After Man Found Dead at Disney Springs Garage

Authorities say the case is a possible suicide pending confirmation by the medical examiner.

Overview

  • Deputies were dispatched around 8:55 p.m. on January 2 for a “person down” near East Buena Vista Drive, and the call was later upgraded to a “dead person.”
  • A sheriff’s office spokesperson said a deceased man was found in the Disney Springs Orange Garage and that investigators are treating it as a possible suicide with no further updates expected this weekend.
  • Guests reported a heavy law enforcement presence, cordoned areas on the lower level, and a blue tarp shielding the scene as investigators worked late into the night.
  • By Saturday morning, Disney Springs and the Orange Garage had resumed normal operations while the investigation continued and an autopsy is anticipated.
  • Social media monitors and some outlets noted a separate January 3 call with a distinct number, but law enforcement has not confirmed a second incident at Disney Springs.
