The Deadliest Place on Earth? Fifth death hits Walt Disney World in one month

Five guests have died at Disney World properties in just the past month, a surprising tally for a vacation destination built on magic and memory. The incidents? Two suicides, two medical emergencies, and one death were found at a resort.

A fifth person died at a Disney World property on Nov. 8, in what has been an unusually active month for incidents around the Florida theme parks and resorts, according to TMZ. Few details were shared about the person who was found dead at the Saratoga Springs resort, according to the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office…

…Over the years, dozens of people have died at the park and surrounding resorts, mostly of natural causes, but what could explain the sudden cluster?

“A combination of real-time emergency call tracking, hyper-engaged fan communities, and heightened online visibility has brought increased attention to incidents that, in previous years, might not have been widely discussed,” speculates the Disney Dining blog.
