A death at Walt Disney World Resort is under investigation after authorities discovered a body Friday night at Disney Springs, according to reports from Inside the Magic and TMZ via law enforcement officials.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that deputies responded to a call around 8:55 p.m. Friday, January 2, 2026, initially described as a “person down” near East Buena Vista Drive. Moments later, the call was upgraded to a report of a deceased individual at the Orange Garage, one of the main parking structures serving Disney Springs.
According to Inside the Magic, guests returning to their vehicles reported a heavy law-enforcement presence at the scene, with part of the lower level of the garage cordoned off as investigators worked. A tarp was used to shield the body from public view as thousands of visitors exited the shopping and dining district.

While the individual’s identity has not been released, the sheriff’s office said there were no immediate indications of foul play. Law-enforcement officials told TMZ that the death is being investigated as a possible suicide, though no final determination has been made.
The discovery comes amid heightened attention to safety incidents across Disney properties following several reported guest deaths in late 2025. Between mid-October and early November, five fatalities occurred on Walt Disney World property within a four-week period, including two deaths later ruled suicides by the Orange County Medical Examiner.
Other recent incidents involved medical emergencies attributed to natural causes, underscoring that while Disney World is often viewed as an escape from everyday life, it remains a public space visited by tens of thousands of people daily.

Disney Springs, a sprawling outdoor retail and entertainment district, is monitored by both Disney security and local law enforcement and features extensive camera surveillance, uniformed and undercover officers, and security screening at entry points.
As of Saturday morning, the Orange Garage had largely returned to normal operations, though the investigation remains active. The medical examiner’s office is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.
