A death at Magic Kingdom Park went undetected in the public record for more than a month. The only reason it’s surfacing now is that a routine feed outage swallowed dozens of emergency calls before anyone could track them.
A Call That Nearly Disappeared
On April 24, 2026, law enforcement received a “dead person” call at Magic Kingdom Park at 11:46 a.m. The response was logged to 1460 Magic Kingdom Dr, Bay Lake — the general address Walt Disney World Resort uses when summoning first responders to the original Central Florida Disney park, which doesn’t pinpoint the exact location inside the park where the incident occurred.
The call went unnoticed publicly for over a month because of a scanner feed outage on April 24 and April 25 that caused 64 law enforcement calls in the Walt Disney World Resort area to go unrecorded in real time. Scanner monitoring outlet WDWActiveCrime uncovered the gap when reviewing the logs and shared the finding on X (formerly known as Twitter):
April now includes a Dead Person call for Magic Kingdom.

No additional details about the individual who died at Magic Kingdom Park on April 24 have been made public. Walt Disney World Resort did not issue a statement about the incident, consistent with how the resort handles the vast majority of medical emergencies on its property. Guest identities in these situations are rarely disclosed unless the death involves a suicide or the family of the deceased chooses to speak out.
Other Calls Lost in the Outage
The April 24 death wasn’t the only emergency response buried by the feed outage. The updated logs also surfaced two “person down” calls from the same day that had gone untracked. The first was recorded at 1:04 a.m. at Disney Springs, and the second at 3:31 p.m. at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
While “person down” calls occasionally precede a more serious outcome, both individuals in these cases appear to have been successfully treated by paramedics or transported to a hospital for further care.
The Disney Dining team sends condolences to the loved ones of the person involved in the emergency call at Magic Kingdom Park on April 24.
