Medical Examiner Says Universal Orlando Rider Died of Ruptured Aneurysm as Family Retains Ben Crump

State records first disclosed the case last week, and Universal has declined detailed comment, citing pending claims.

Overview

  • Ma de La Luz Mejia Rosas, 70, became unresponsive on Nov. 25, 2025 while riding Revenge of the Mummy and died Dec. 9 at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
  • The Orange County Medical Examiner determined her cause of death was a ruptured aneurysm without trauma, identifying no external injury from the ride.
  • Her family has hired attorney Ben Crump and is seeking Universal’s records on ride operations, safety protocols, maintenance history, and prior incidents.
  • Universal has said it does not comment on pending claims related to ride injuries.
  • The incident was publicly listed in Florida’s quarterly FDACS injury report for Oct–Dec 2025 and comes months after a separate Universal coaster death that was later settled confidentially.
