- EW has confirmed the cause of death for Matthew Cohn, the third Disney World guest to have died this month.

- The Orange County Medical Examiner told EW in an email how Cohn died.

- Two other guests died at the resort earlier in October.

A cause of death has been confirmed for the third Disney World guest to have died on property this month,* * has learned.

Days after EW confirmed that Matthew Cohn died Oct. 23 at the Contemporary Resort just outside the Magic Kingdom park, the Orange County Medical Examiner's office told us in an email Monday that the manner of death was suicide.

Per a representative, Cohn died from "multiple traumatic injuries" at the hotel, with guest-shared video from the scene showing a large emergency response gathered last week near the property's Bay Lake Tower area.

Representatives for Disney World did not respond to EW's request for more information.

While three guests have died at Disney World in October, this marks the second to be ruled a suicide. Earlier this month, Summer Equitz also died by suicide at the Contemporary, a hotel that opened alongside Disney World as a whole on Oct. 1, 1971.

The OCME told EW that Equitz also died from "multiple blunt impact injuries," but stressed that social media reports indicating she died after colliding with Disney World's monorail vehicle were inaccurate.

A similar incident occurred in 2016, after a guest jumped from one of the hotel property's ledges. The hotel includes a unique architectural design, complete with an A-frame build and ledges that face both internally and externally. The interior ledges overlook restaurants, gift shops, and the aforementioned monorail station.

Following Equitz's death, a man in his 60s was found in bed at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

The man's wife reportedly found him unresponsive after 7 a.m. local time, and he was later pronounced dead at 8:26 a.m. upon being transported to AdventHealth Celebration.

On the West coast, a woman in her 60s was transported to a local hospital after riding the Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department told to EW at the time that "Disneyland security personnel provided CPR until paramedics arrived," though the woman was "later pronounced deceased."

Video shared by TMZ showed medical responders entering through the ride's exit, later returning with a person on a stretcher (though the image is blurred on video).

Elsewhere in Orlando, a 32-year-old man, Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, died while riding Universal Epic Universe's Stardust Racers roller coaster in September. Following an investigation that, per officials, deemed the attraction to be in proper working order, the roller coaster reopened to the public on Oct. 4.
