Meanwhile...is there any new information on the car and the unfortunate victim?
Not from what I could find on Google or Twitter.

The story came out yesterday, and I’m pretty surprised that an update hasn’t happened yet. I’m sure they want to get facts as straight as they can before reporting, but it’s all pretty quiet on the news front

Everybody arguing over stupid crap, how would you feel if this was your family member? No matter what the circumstances... SHUT UP! With the petty arguing. Geesh... this is pathetic.

Agreed. I'm surprised that law enforcement hasn't at least made an initial press release by now. News stories always seem to develop more slowly on the weekend though.

The one thing I haven’t seen reported in this thread is that homicide detectives are also involved in the investigation, at least according to WFTV tv and other Orlando media. May mean nothing other than ruling out homicide. But until they come to some conclusions we likely won’t hear anything.

If you're on Disney property, you're almost 100% assured to be on camera.
Or so I've been told........
This is actually a huge misconception. They don't even have full coverage inside the parks, let alone all over property.

Most cameras are focused on the money. Sure they have a few in the parking lots, but it's fun to look up when you get to the register areas of the gift shops or the front desks of the hotels. The cameras aren't exactly hidden you can see where they are and aren't just most people never look for them.

Sure. If Homicide is involved any report could jeopardize the investigation, tip off suspects etc.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and their loved ones and friends.

Sadly, it does happen. Jack Cassidy died in that same manner many years ago.
Deleted because I didn't see mom's request not to post unless I had anything to add.
So I'll add this... I'm not a pathologist, and I don't play one on TV, but I'm guessing whoever passed away in this case (a) was already deceased before the car started burning, or (b) was overcome by smoke and toxic fumes well before the fire got to them.

"On Monday, News 6 asked sheriff’s deputies for the identity of the victim, an official cause of death, to whom the car was registered, the type of car involved and a possible motive. We also asked for any and all emergency dispatch calls.
In response the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said, "No new updates at this time. We will provide additional information as soon as it becomes available."

That does seem to indicate something out of the ordinary was noticed, but, not sure.

I'm wondering if perhaps they are having difficulty notifying the next of kin, and don't want to release any details until they can do so. If so, I would completely understand.

They're legally required to release details if requested, unless I'm misunderstanding the law.
