Guest Dies After Haunted Mansion Ride At Disneyland
According to Anaheim police, the unnamed woman became unresponsive after riding the Haunted Mansion attraction on Monday, Oct. 6. Anaheim Fire & Rescue responded to the scene, where Disneyland security had already started CPR while waiting for paramedics. She was transported to a nearby hospital, but sadly, was later pronounced dead. Authorities say it appears to have been an “unfortunate medical episode,” and confirmed there were no signs of any malfunction with the ride itself — which quietly reopened shortly after.
Haunted Mansion Incident Has Folks Side-Eyeing Disneyland
At this time, an official cause of death has not been released, but officials say the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner will provide further details. Disneyland also issued a statement to PEOPLE, confirming that a guest required medical attention and was transported to a hospital. While nothing about the ride itself seems to be at fault, the fact that this all went down at the Haunted Mansion has definitely left people online feeling a way.
Back-To-Back Ride Deaths Raise Serious Questions
Whew! It’s starting to look like more than just a coincidence, y’all. Just one week before the most recent tragedy, Kevin Rodriguez Zavala died after riding a similar attraction. Witnesses say the 32-year-old was slumped over and bleeding, and when medics arrived, he wasn’t breathing. The Orlando medical examiner later ruled his death an accident caused by multiple blunt impact injuries. Furthermore, with incidents stacking up like this, folks are definitely starting to ask questions.
