Credit: DisneyNewly uncovered documents from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department reveal that law enforcement responded to at least two reported deaths at Walt Disney World Resort last month.
Recent reporting also indicates that since scanner monitoring site WDWActiveCrime began tracking emergency responses at the Central Florida Disney parks last year, local authorities may have suppressed live data regarding “person down” and “dead person” calls at the Most Magical Place on Earth, only allowing those calls to be made public weeks or months later. Meanwhile, those two call types continued to appear in the public feed for other parts of Central Florida until mid-2026.
Previously, @WDWActiveCrime has posted in real-time about “dead person” calls at Walt Disney World Resort, including this one at Magic Kingdom Park last October:

Deaths at Disney World in May 2026
Last week, WDWActiveCrime reported that law enforcement responded to two reported deaths at the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, hotels, or Disney Springs from May 19 through May 26, 2026. The information came to light after the outlet requested records from that week because of an outage in the public live police scanner data feed.
No information about the people involved in those incidents is available. It’s unclear where at Walt Disney World Resort the “dead person” responses occurred.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is unlikely to release any more information about the alleged decedents unless criminal charges are filed or, in some cases, the deaths are ruled as suicides. Walt Disney World Resort rarely comments on deaths on its property, and these cases are no exception.
In addition to the two “dead person” calls at Walt Disney World Resort from May 29 through May 26, law enforcement also responded to two “suicide attempt” calls and eight “person down” calls. “Person down” refers to a living patient who needs immediate medical attention; those calls are sometimes updated to “dead person” calls, but not always. To protect the privacy of those involved, no information is likely to emerge about the circumstances that led to the 911 calls.
Should Walt Disney World Resort be allowed to conceal deaths on its property from the public record? Share your thoughts with Inside the Magic in the comments.
