The updated call log notes that law enforcement received the “dead person” call at 11:46 a.m. on April 24, 2026. The response location was logged as 1460 Magic Kingdom Dr, Bay Lake, the general address Walt Disney World Resort uses when calling first responders to Magic Kingdom Park. It does not reflect the exact location inside the original Central Florida Disney park where the emergency occurred.
At this time, no other information is available about the person who died at Magic Kingdom Park on April 24. The identities of guests who die at the Central Florida Disney parks are rarely publicized, except in cases of suicides or when the patient’s loved ones choose to come forward.
Other Medical Emergencies at Disney World on April 24
The 64 previously untracked calls also included two “person down” calls on April 24, which sometimes, but not always, precede a “dead person” report. However, it appears in these cases, the patients were successfully transported to a hospital or treated by paramedics. The first occurred at Disney Springs at 1:04 a.m., and the second occurred at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at 3:31 p.m. No other information is available about these incidents.
