Authorities think a visitor whose body was pulled from a lagoon at Walt Disney World's Pleasure Island entertainment district probably slipped or jumped into the water.
But Tyrone Turner's sister says her brother never would have gone into the moat willingly and worries that he may have been the victim of foul play.
"It just doesn't make sense what they're saying," Valerie Turner said by telephone Friday from New York state.
"My brother would never go get in the water. I could stake everything on it," she said. "It just seems like there were some dangerous people involved here."
Tyrone Turner, 40, of Brooklyn, N.Y., was the editorial business manager for Newsweek magazine. His body was found Thursday in four feet of water under Planet Hollywood restaurant, which is over a lagoon.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office said he was last seen about 2 a.m. Wednesday when he and some business associates were trying to c atch a cab to return to their hotel after a night of drinking. His associates thought he was going to catch another cab and meet them at the hotel, police said.
Turner probably drowned, though autopsy results won't be available until today, sheriff's deputy Carlos Espinosa said.
"Any signs of a struggle will be looked into," he said. "But it appears that he just drowned."
Planet Hollywood employees saw someone in the water about 2:15 a.m. and called Disney security, said sheriff's spokesman Steven Jones. He said security people saw a person go under the restaurant, but they left after an hourlong search, thinking the person had gotten out.
After a business associate reported Turner missing Wednesday evening, a sheriff's dive team searched the moat, finding the body about 11 a.m. Thursday. The water is up to five feet deep.
