A woman in her 60s tragically passed away after suffering a medical emergency on Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion attraction on Monday, October 6. After exiting the ride, staff found her unresponsive and immediately called emergency services around 6:30 p.m. local time.
Disneyland security personnel performed CPR until paramedics arrived, transporting her to a nearby hospital where she was later pronounced dead. Anaheim Police confirmed the incident appears to be an unfortunate medical episode, with no indication of any mechanical problems on the ride.
The Haunted Mansion is one of Disneyland’s oldest and most beloved rides, known for its slow pace, eerie atmosphere, and family-friendly design. It was recently themed around Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas for the Halloween season.
The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office is investigating the exact cause of death. The ride reopened shortly after the incident.
