Police Records Show At Least Two Deaths at Walt Disney World in May

Overview

• Orange County Sheriff’s Department documents obtained after a public scanner outage show law enforcement responded to at least two 'dead person' calls on Walt Disney World property between May 19 and May 26, 2026.
• Those records also list two 'suicide attempt' calls and eight 'person down' calls at the resort during the same week, with 'person down' referring to a living patient needing immediate medical attention that can later be reclassified.
• Scanner monitor WDWActiveCrime has tracked a pattern since 2025 in which 'person down' and 'dead person' entries tied to Disney locations often do not appear on the public live feed and only surface later through records requests, a behavior that changed around mid‑2026.
• No names or precise locations have been released and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department says it typically withholds decedent details unless criminal charges are filed or a death is ruled a suicide; Walt Disney World has not commented.
• The disclosures have raised questions about transparency in public emergency feeds and the handling of on‑property incidents, though further facts are unlikely to emerge unless investigators or officials provide new statements or legal steps trigger more releases.
