A guest at Florida’s Disney World resort was pronounced dead after being rushed to a local hospital Sunday – the fourth guest at the sprawling theme park to die in the past three weeks.
“A woman in her 40s was transported to the hospital, where she passed away,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in an email to The Post. “There were no signs of foul play.”
Disney World blogs first reported that the woman was found at the sprawling property’s Pop Century Resort, a budget hotel connected to Epcot and Hollywood Studios by the famed Skyliner.
The troubling string of deaths at “the most magical place on earth” include the Oct. 23 apparent suicide of 28-year-old guest Matthew Alec Cohn, an aspiring football referee who allegedly leapt from the 12th floor of the Contemporary Resort.
Cohn, who lived in Los Angeles, was reportedly trying to make it as a musician as well.
Another guest at the park, identified only as a man in his 60s, died after suffering “a medical episode” at Disney’s Ford Wilderness Resort & Campground on Oct. 21, police said.
The incident took place in the 1500 loop, or site Cottontail Curl, one of 21 resort-based trails and campsites on Disney’s Orlando property.
On Oct. 14, Disney superfan Summer Equitz, 31, was also found dead at the Contemporary Resort in another apparent suicide, local authorities said.
Equitz, a House of Mouse enthusiast who had honeymooned at Walt Disney World, had flown to the Florida resort from her home in Illinois without her family’s knowledge.
