Two 'Person Down' Calls at Disney Parks in 24 Hours, Days After EPCOT Radio Listed a 'Dead Person'
Scanner-driven dispatch posts outpace formal details from officials.
Overview
- Dispatch-monitoring account @WDWActiveCrime reported a person down at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at 11:11 a.m. on December 14 and another at Magic Kingdom at 8:01 p.m. on December 13.
- A December 11 EPCOT call initially logged as a person down was later described in police radio traffic as a “dead person,” with no official confirmation of identity or cause.
- Walt Disney World and local authorities have not released statements identifying individuals or explaining medical causes, citing standard privacy and procedural limits.
- November’s dispatch tallies recorded 462 emergency calls across the resort, including 22 person down calls and two deceased person reports, illustrating city-scale operations.
- Reporters note that if the EPCOT case is formally confirmed as a fatality, it would bring the rough count of guest deaths since September to about a dozen, pending medical examiner findings.
