A somber update has come out of Walt Disney World today, as a person was confirmed deceased at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, the fifth reported death across Disney resorts in just the past several weeks.

According to public safety reports shared by @wdwactivecrime, emergency responders were dispatched to Saratoga Springs around 3:18 p.m. on Saturday, November 8, for a “Person Down” call. The call was later updated to a “Dead Person.” As of this evening, neither Disney nor the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has released an official statement.
The tragic news follows a string of recent fatalities at Walt Disney World properties. On November 2, a woman in her 40s was found unresponsive at Disney’s Pop Century Resort and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, with investigators ruling out foul play. Just days before, a man in his 60s was found deceased at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, which authorities classified as a suicide. Another man, also in his 60s, passed away at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground from a pre-existing medical condition.
The first in this recent cluster occurred late last month when 31-year-old Disney superfan Summer Equitz died at the Contemporary Resort in what officials described as an “apparent suicide.”

Saratoga Springs Resort, a Disney Vacation Club property modeled after the historic New York racing destination, sits just across the lake from Disney Springs. Guests reported increased emergency activity near the resort earlier today, but operations at surrounding areas—including Disney Springs—appeared to continue as normal.
At this time, details surrounding the most recent incident remain limited. As always, our hearts go out to the family and friends affected by this loss.
