A woman in her 60s suffered a heart attack and died after riding the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland on Monday evening.

Anaheim Fire & Rescue crews were called to the park around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 for reports of an unresponsive guest who had just finished riding the Haunted Mansion, Sgt. Matt Sutter confirmed to local affiliate KTLA.

Disneyland security personnel began CPR before paramedics arrived and transported the woman to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, Sutter said.

The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office will determine the official cause of death. Officials have not released the woman’s exact name, age, or city of residence.

Sutter confirmed that “there is no indication of any operating issue with the attraction, which reopened soon after.”

Matt Desmond, known online as “Disney Scoop Guy,” shared news of the incident on social media, writing, “Sending condolences to her family and loved ones.”

The unfortunate news comes after a man died after riding the Stardust Racers roller coaster at Universal Epic Universe, Universal’s new theme park that opened in May.

The Haunted Mansion, one of Disneyland’s most beloved attractions, opened in 1969 in New Orleans Square. In 2001, the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay, based on “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” was introduced.
