A Disney World guest in Orlando, Florida, died on Sunday after being taken to a hospital, marking the fourth death at the park in three weeks. “A woman in her 40s was transported to the hospital, where she passed away,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office told The Independent. “There were no signs of foul play.” The woman was found at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, near Epcot and Hollywood Studios, the New York Post reports. The Independent has also contacted representatives for Disney World for comment. The recent Disney World deaths began on October 14 with 31-year-old Summer Equitz, a Disney superfan who died in an apparent suicide at the Contemporary Resort after traveling from Illinois without telling her family. On October 21, a man in his 60s died from a “medical episode” at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, at the Cottontail Curl site on one of the resort’s trails and campsites. Two days later, 28-year-old Matthew Alec Cohn of Los Angeles died of an apparent suicide. The aspiring football referee and musician allegedly jumped from the 12th floor of the Contemporary Resort. Disneyland in Anaheim, California, has also faced recent tragedy. On October 8, a woman in her 60s was found unresponsive on the Haunted Mansion ride and later pronounced dead at a hospital.
