Overview
- Deputies responded around 7:32 a.m. to a “Person Down” call at Fort Wilderness’s 1500 Loop (Cottontail Curl), where a man in his 60s was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead.
- The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said there are no signs of foul play in the Fort Wilderness case, and the cause remains under investigation.
- A separate death at Disney’s Contemporary Resort earlier in the week was confirmed by authorities as an apparent suicide from multiple blunt impact injuries.

- Both cases are active, separate investigations by local authorities, and Disney has issued no further public statements beyond acknowledging the campground call.
