ORLANDO, Fla. – A recent medical examiner’s report has disclosed the cause of death for a 70-year-old woman who passed away after experiencing the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster at Universal Orlando in November.
Ma De La Luz Mejia Rosas died on November 25 at a local hospital shortly after her ride. News 6 was the first to cover the incident when Universal reported the death in their quarterly injury summary to the Florida Department of Agriculture.
The medical examiner determined that Rosas died from a “ruptured aneurysm without trauma.”
Revenge of the Mummy, situated at Universal Studios, is a sought-after indoor roller coaster famous for its thrilling drops and elaborate special effects. The ride comes with safety advisories, cautioning those with heart issues, high blood pressure, or back and neck problems against boarding.
In the wake of the tragedy, Rosas’ family has engaged the services of high-profile civil rights attorney Ben Crump. Crump is also representing another family in a separate death investigation at Universal’s Epic Universe related to the Stardust Racers attraction in September.

Prior to the medical examiner’s findings, Crump’s law firm stated the family was “seeking answers and full transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding her death, including information related to the ride’s operations, safety protocols, maintenance history, and any available incident data.”
News 6 has reached out to Crump’s office for comment.
