Second Guest Death at Disney World in a Week as Sheriff Rules Out Foul Play in Latest Case

Officials corrected early monorail rumors from last week, with both cases still under investigation.

Overview

  • A man in his 60s at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground suffered a medical episode and died at a hospital, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
  • Deputies responded to a 7:32 a.m. 'person down' call at the campground’s Cottontail Curl loop before the call was later updated to a death report.
  • The Sheriff’s Office said there are no signs of foul play in the Fort Wilderness case and has not released the man’s identity.
  • One week earlier, 31-year-old Summer Equitz was found dead near Disney’s Contemporary Resort; the medical examiner ruled her death a suicide from multiple blunt impact injuries.
  • Authorities emphasized the Contemporary case did not involve the monorail after early social-media speculation, and Disney has issued limited public comment.
