No Jakeman you missed my point as did others.
But as long as we heave at least a half a dozen obsessed Disney Fanboyz attesting to Disneys every innocence than I conceid.
How's the weather in Fantasyland?

Rides don't cause heart attacks... bodies fail under stress. The stress that finally does someone in can come from a multitude of things.
Just like counting heart attack victims in storm deaths is pretty dumb too IMO. The storm (or attraction) is the trigger, not the cause.

No one missed you point, you don't have one. Millions of people go on Star Tours every year. One who had a known heart condition he was getting treatment for died after riding it. It could have happened at a grocery store or shopping mall where they exerted themselves too much. And given this person was such a fan of WDW it's not even like he didn't know what he was in for on the ride as he traveled to the parks frequently. It's sad when anyone dies but this has absolutely nothing to do with Disney.

AEfx. I'm sorry but I cannot take you seriously. You are one of the pile on boyz. I try not to turn my back to you g uys.
My initial point was not an attack on the ride or Disney, just a curious huh? with the news story breaking a month later.
How's your hair in that magic mirror?

With a serious dose of conspiracy on top... The reason it took so long is because it wasn't reported by the family or local news. (insert your conspiracy here). The timing of its disclosure has nothing to do with conspiracy but regulations.
The family probably took a settlement and stayed quiet because of it.
Just imagine how many ambulance runs the county and RCID make on property every day.. and how much work someone would have to do to follow-up on every one of those.

Which was clearly explained by reading the OP, as well as quite a few folks explaining it to you since, yet you willfully ignore.
A standard quarterly report came out and some sites have used Disney as click bait in the headlines to get hits.
Nothing more.

The family has held a very public fundraising for well over a month now. To raise money to return this man's remains. No cover-up, nothing quiet, nothing secretive about any of this.

The three things Ralph Lyles loved the most in life are:
1. God
2. His family
3. Disney World
So it came as a bittersweet day on Sunday, September 18th, when Ralph, at Hollywood Studios- Disney World with his grandson, left this world for his heavenly homecoming. He often joked that he planned on dying at Disney World, and he fulfilled his destiny that Sunday - the day of rest.
As a retiree, Ralph saved throughout the year for the opportunity to take one or two of his ten grandchildren with him to Disney World. It had become a tradition he was very proud of and he looked forward to it all year long.
His family is coping with the grief of losing him unexpectedly as well as the financial burden of his death. Ralph did not have a burial or life insurance policy, thus the entirety of the burden falls upon the family, which does not have the means.
We hope that friends, family, and fellow Disney fans will help us in this endeavor, for which we would be eternally grateful.
Ralph has had his heavenly homecoming, now it's time to celebrate the wonderful life he had--a friend to anyone in need, an advocate for the work of The Lord, and a joy to be around for all who knew him.

I think Disney should station a full medical team and clinical room at the front of every attraction. Everyone would have to submit to blood work, a treadmill test, and provide a full medical history before boarding. Sure this will take an extra hour or so before you get on the ride, and ticket prices would triple, but assuring guest safety is not just the number 1 priority, it is the only priority. After all, if 1 out of 10 million guests might be stressed by a particular attraction, these precautions are needed. How naïve to think that we can leave it up to the individual guests to decide for themselves what's safe and what isn't. No, Disney has to take responsibility because we are all dumb sheep who can't make our own decisions, who can't read a warning sign, and who can't predict that an amusement park thrill ride might overly stress people with known health problems.
Rest in peace Mr. Lyles. You passed away on your own terms, and we should all live our lives to that fullest degree. You knew what you were doing. I hope that I could go like you did when my time comes.

Only if you use the official App.

They closed the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame Plaza less then a week after this happened. Coincidence? I think not.

We all would have cared, but not discussed it at a WDW forum.
