Tragedy struck at Disney’s Pop Century Resort in Florida when a woman in her 40s passed away after being rushed to a local hospital on Sunday. This incident adds to a series of recent deaths at Walt Disney World, according to reports.

Fox News Digital received confirmation from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office stating, “A woman in her 40s was transported to the hospital, where she passed away.” Authorities noted that no foul play was suspected in her death.

The New York Post detailed that the woman was found at the Pop Century Resort. This resort, part of Disney’s more affordable accommodation options, is conveniently linked to Epcot and Hollywood Studios through the Disney Skyliner gondola network.

Her passing follows a concerning pattern of fatalities at Disney resorts over the past month. Reports indicate that at least three visitors lost their lives within a span of 10 days recently.

The most recent death involved a man in his 60s whose manner of death was ruled a suicide, a spokesperson for the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office told FOX Business. He was found at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, located near Magic Kingdom, the Post reported.

Before that, a man in his 60s died from a pre-existing medical condition at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, the outlet said.

Days earlier, 31-year-old Disney superfan Summer Equitz died at the Contemporary Resort in what authorities reportedly called an “apparent suicide.”

Since opening in 1971, 68 people have died at Walt Disney World, the Post noted.

Disney historian and podcast host Jim Hill discussed the resort’s dark history in a 2022 interview with the outlet.

“There’s this weird phenomenon where people who are severely depressed but want to have that one last good happy family memory will go to Walt Disney World,” Jim Hill of the “Disney Wish” podcast told the Post in 2022.

“They’ll deliberately book a room at the Contemporary Resort, which is 14 stories tall. And after that happy family time, they will throw themselves off the building,” he said.

Further details about the most recent death have not been released. Disney did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter.
