The death marks the third recent guest death in a matter of days, following a woman, Summer Equitz, who died by an apparent suicide at the same resort in early October, and another guest who died after a "medical episode" Tuesday morning, per authorities, at the property's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

The a representative for the sheriff's office representative confirmed to EW at the time that the guest was "not struck by the monorail," and called other reports "erroneous information."
