A 45 year old Disneyland Paris Cast Member has been found dead on the Phantom Manor ride on Saturday morning.

The death is under investigation but it appears the man was electrocuted while working on the lighting in the haunted house. The cast member was found by a co-worker in the Phantom Manor attraction before the park was open to the public.

Although not yet identified the union rep said he has worked in the park for over 14 years and was a father. He was described as a popular kind of guy who was always smiling.

Management at Disneyland is deeply saddened by the tragedy. They will keep the ride closed until at least Wednesday.

We send our deepest condolences out to the family of this employee.
