A woman died at Walt Disney World on Sunday, marking the fourth death at the Orlando park over just three weeks.

“On Nov. 2, a woman in her 40s was transported to Hospital, where she passed away,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to the Daily News. “There were no signs of foul play.”

It’s unclear where the woman was on the property when authorities were called as well as whether she was guest or employee.

The spate of Disney deaths began on the West Coast in early October when a female guest in her 60s became unresponsive while riding the Haunted Mansion at Anaheim’s Disneyland. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital near the Southern California park.

In mid-October, 31-year-old Summer Equitz died by apparent suicide in Orlando at Disney’s Magic Kingdom-area hotel, the Contemporary Resort.

Days later, OCSO confirmed to the News that a male in his 60s then “experienced a medical episode” on Oct. 22 reportedly while a guest at the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground’s Cottontail Curl loop, also near the Magic Kingdom.

Two days later, 28-year-old Matthew Cohn also died at the Contemporary Resort, where OCSO believed he was staying.

“We woke up to a VERY large enforcement [presence] outside our balcony this morning at Disney’s Bay Lake Tower,” read the caption of a TikTok, which showed the Contemporary Resort area cordoned off at the time. “We were told it was a ‘medical emergency.’ Prayers to the family & those involved.”
