Death after Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland, coroner to decide

A woman in her 60s was found unresponsive after riding the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in Anaheim on Monday evening and later died at a local hospital, officials said. Anaheim Fire Rescue and park security responded to the attraction at about 6:30 p.m., where security personnel administered CPR until paramedics arrived, according to Anaheim officials.

Sgt. Matt Sutter, a department spokesperson, said the woman was transported from the park to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced dead. Authorities have not released her name or city of residence. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner will determine and announce the official cause of death, Sutter said. Officials noted a heart attack is a possibility but that the coroner’s examination will establish the cause.

Park staff and emergency responders worked at the scene before the woman was moved to the hospital, and there were no reports of criminal activity related to the incident. Disneyland issued a brief statement confirming that a guest required medical assistance at the resort and was taken to a hospital, but the company and local officials have not provided further details.
