A woman died this week in an apparent medical episode at Disneyland after she got on the Haunted Mansion ride, a spokesperson for the city of Anaheim, California, said.
“This appears to be an unfortunate medical episode, and our thoughts go out [to] the family,” the spokesperson said.
Anaheim Fire and Rescue responded to Disneyland around 6:30 p.m. Monday for a report of an unresponsive woman in her 60s. When rescue personnel arrived, Disneyland security had already begun CPR, the spokesperson said.
The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Office will determine the cause of death. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
The Haunted Mansion ride is slow-moving and has "mildly frightening scenes" but is safe for kids, Disney says on its website. It features ghosts, but the ghosts are friendly, the theme park assures visitors.
There was no indication the ride had an operating issue, and it has reopened, the Anaheim spokesperson said.
