Just heard on the radio that a 14 year old Spanish girl collapsed and died on a rollercoaster at DLP!

Investigations are being carried out.

Oh the poor girl, I wonder what happened? very sad. Didn't a young boy die on RnR recently in Orlando?

It is often found that they have had a heart defect or something that lies undetected. So sad.

My thoughts go out to her family at this sad time :hug:

[scarletsdaddy]

That is so sad. My heart goes out to her family.

In WDW a little boy died on Mission Space and yes, it was because of an underlying condition of his heart. It is just so sad.

It seems it has nothing to do with the ride. She probably had already some health problem.

POR CAUSAS DESCONOCIDAS
Muere una niña al perder el conocimiento en una atracción de Disneyland París

* Descendió inconsciente del Rock'n'Roller Coaster
* Tras la tragedia, la atracción se cerró inmediatamente al público

EUROPA PRESS

MADRID.- Una niña española de 14 años de edad murió este lunes en una montaña rusa del parque de atracciones de Disneyland París después de perder el conocimiento por causas desconocidas, según ha informado el diario 'La Parisien'. La autopsia se realizará esta tarde y los investigadores franceses barajan la posibilidad de que sufriera problemas de salud que le habrían causado su fallecimiento.

La niña falleció en el parque de atracciones dedicado al cine, situado en Marne-la-Vallée. Según el diario, la joven había "llegado el día anterior con un grupo de turistas" y "pasó la noche en el hotel Cheyenne", en el recinto del parque.

A principios de la tarde, según el diario, la niña se montó en el Rock'n'Roller Coaster, una montaña rusa que circula a una "velocidad vertiginosa". En el momento de descender de la atracción, sus amigos la encontraron inconsciente, tras lo cual los bomberos y los médicos intentaron reanimarla en vano.

Tras la tragedia, la atracción fue cerrada inmediatamente y la Brigada Criminal de la Dirección Regional de la Policía Judicial (DRPJ) inició una investigación.

"Según los primeros elementos de la investigación la causa no está en la atracción y se ha excluido un posible desajuste en la velocidad de la máquina", indicó el diario. "La investigación se orienta sobre todo en posibles problemas de salud de la víctima", añadió. Por la noche se puso en marcha una célula de ayuda psicológica en el recinto del parque.

How really sad. Was she at DLP with her family or school?

Very sad :sad2:

She was with her school classmates.

Here in Spain medias are saying that the autopsy will probably confirm a vascular problem, as there is a history of heart disease in her family.

[Ware Bears]

Oh, how terrible. :sad2:

[FHT]

This is very sad news & our thoughts go out to the family.

But on a side note, has the ride been opened again or is it still closed?

[giuly09]

That's terrible. I am so sad for her and her family.

How very sad. :(

[kidzmom3]

thats so sad. I think a lot of people have undiagnosed medical problems that come out under the stress of high G rides.

[disneygal2007]

Oh that so sad. God bless their family :sad2:

[MsFreud]

It is a sad day for her family. :(

What a horrible way to find out about a congenital defect, as I am sure that is what the autopsy is going to reveal.

We have already discussed this sad incicent here:
Death at DLP! (http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1496648)

The saddest part of all is that it is the third daughter to die to the parents. It seems the family has a history of heart disease that has caused the sudden death two years ago of this girl's twin sister, and four years ago of her older sister.

Here you can find a good article. Sorry it's in Spanish.
