On Sunday, a woman in her 40s tragically passed away after being transported from Disney’s Pop Century Resort in Florida to a nearby hospital. This incident adds to a series of recent fatalities at Walt Disney World, according to reports.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in an email to Fox News Digital, “A woman in her 40s was transported to the hospital, where she passed away. There were no signs of foul play.”

The New York Post revealed that authorities found the woman at the Pop Century Resort, a value-tier accommodation within the Disney complex. This resort is conveniently connected to Epcot and Hollywood Studios via the Disney Skyliner gondola system.

This incident is part of a troubling trend, as multiple deaths have been reported at Disney resorts over the past month. Notably, at least three guests died within a span of just 10 days, according to available reports.

In another recent case, a man in his 60s died in what was ruled a suicide, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office to FOX Business. This incident occurred at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, situated near Magic Kingdom, as reported by the Post.

Before that, a man in his 60s died from a pre-existing medical condition at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, the outlet said.

Days earlier, 31-year-old Disney superfan Summer Equitz died at the Contemporary Resort in what authorities reportedly called an “apparent suicide.”

Since opening in 1971, 68 people have died at Walt Disney World, the Post noted.

Disney historian and podcast host Jim Hill discussed the resort’s dark history in a 2022 interview with the outlet.

“There’s this weird phenomenon where people who are severely depressed but want to have that one last good happy family memory will go to Walt Disney World,” Jim Hill of the “Disney Wish” podcast told the Post in 2022.

“They’ll deliberately book a room at the Contemporary Resort, which is 14 stories tall. And after that happy family time, they will throw themselves off the building,” he said.

Further details about the most recent death have not been released. Disney did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter.
