It seems the person jumped from a high location onto a viewing deck (not onto the monorail track). So we can’t say for certain if it was accidental or not.
As we reported earlier this evening, a body was removed from Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. According to an update from News 6 WKMG, “The sheriff’s office later told News 6 that the incident is an apparent suicide.”
Reports of multiple sheriff units at the Contemporary Resort and crime scene tape had been set up at the service entrance.
According to News 6 the call data shows the sheriff’s office received the report about the dead body around 6:40 p.m. along North World Drive, which begins just south of US-192 and runs past Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Contemporary Resort and Wilderness Lodge.
The sheriff’s office later told News 6 that the incident is an apparent suicide.
