Body Found in Burning Car near Fantasia Mini-Golf (Epcot Resort Area)

It seems a lot more likely that this is accidental. That was my initial feeling from the beginning. Just thinking about where this parking lot is, it's a good spot for employees sleeping overnight. Add in the summer temperatures and if the car was running idle for AC for a long time could've overheated or had some other issue and caught fire with the smoke incapacitating the driver before he even knew what happened. Or perhaps fell asleep smoking. Both are totally an assumption, but makes more sense to me than he set his car on fire and shot himself.

The name of the victim has been released. The site which cannot be named is saying he was a cast member and committed suicide, but I can't find any main stream news site that corroborate this.

The site also reports the deceased left a very clichéd “Goodbye, cruel world”-type message on their Facebook page. I do not have an active fb account to even attempt to verify.

I guess they were trying to kill themselves through smoke inhalation and something went awery and, due to all the gas inside, it quickly caught fire. That or they were asleep with the car turned on (cant imagine why) and tragically died by accident.

Either way, it's really sad that they either were in sucha bad place that they needed to die, or that they did so through a mistake

Again, will say, no matter how it happened, hope he didn’t burn to death.

I think it meant that she hoped that no matter how it happened that the victim was dead before the fire got to them.

No. I am saying no matter how it happened, could not imagine burning to death. Hope, he was passed before then. People are so harsh, in some of these posts, compassion is a great and human thing. Some people on this board and in general should try it.
Not speaking to you, about any post. Just saying that while replying to your question.

Very sad if it turns out to be true that this was a 50 year old CM ending his own life.

I don't even want to begin to imagine what his possible family, friends, and other relations are going through right now.

Yes, that is exactly what I meant.
