I'm having trouble finding any numbers on this but I'm just curious. I'm not talking about "accidents" or crazy events, just the totals. I can't believe there aren't issues with heart attacks, heat stroke, etc. or just old people dying in their sleep. What are the actual numbers? I would imagine that heat related issues are more prevalent in July and August, so what are the numbers for real?

You'd have to do the research vs ask random people on the internet.
I doubt many people die of old age at Disney.
I also believe that most heart attack related deaths are made public.
People don't usually die of heat stroke. They just get dehydrated and faint.
I've seen ambulances and paramedics numerous times while at Disney specially in the summer but I've never actually witnessed a dead person.

That's honestly how I want to go, old and in my sleep in a Disney hotel room.

Because I love WDW so much I would not want to die of old age there. Passing away at mine and my family's favorite place to vacation would likely bring up sad memories when they go back.

Speaking of death... I believe I have officially reached the point and beyond where I can never be accused of dying young. Very depressing! I'm never going to become a legion.

Wikipedia has entire articles about injuries and deaths at WDW (and also DL/ Yes, it is Wikipedia, so take what you will of that, but anyway...

Yes I've read the entire article. I both am morbidly curious and have way too much time on my hands.

I saw that article too, but it seemed way too small. I mean, 50-100,000 people a day, walking 12 miles and in the summer, 95 degree weather, I can't believe they don't have a lot more non accident related deaths. When we go to disney, we actually prepare by going on actual 3-4 hour hikes to build up our leg strength, I don't think most folks do that and I have to believe there are a bigger number of folks that get in trouble from over-exertion.Wikipedia has entire articles about injuries and deaths at WDW (and also DL/ Yes, it is Wikipedia, so take what you will of that, but anyway...

I remember reading an article once that there are real human skeletons in the pirates of the carribean ride and how some folks were horrified about that. Personally I would be thrilled if that was what happened to my dead body.

This is the Exempt Facilities Report. As part of not having state inspections, amusement parks with more than 1,000 employees report incidents to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
supply your sources otherwise you are just using (10-sided) dice.
if that report is accurate, I'm very surprised how few incidents there are.

Are you suggesting that Disney is failing to properly report incidents to the state?

We had an older gentleman 82 pass away on the Dream one night. They called Blue Star in all cabins to deck 2. We saw the coroners van pull up beside the ship in the am in Nassau.

I believe they are only required to report ride-related incidents. So if someone dies in their hotel room it wouldn't get reported.

There was a ghost. A ghost host. He also said there's room for 1000 and apparently you can volunteer.

A family friend's relative died of a heart attack at one of the parks years and years ago. I'm sure it's fairly common, simply because Disney is A) visited by so many people, B) in a warm and walking/exertion-intensive place, but not sure you'd ever be able to get fully accurate stats.
