A man has died at a hospital after experiencing a "medical episode" at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground in Florida.

The man, described as in his 60s, was transported to a hospital early Tuesday morning, where he died, a representative for the Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed to *, *adding, "There are no signs of foul play."

According to a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist's report from the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office reviewed by EW, the man was staying with his wife at the campground, where she reported last speaking with him just after 7 a.m. local time that day. She said she found him unresponsive in bed when she came back to their room.

The wife called 911, and when assistance arrived, an automated external defibrillator was used at the scene. The man was then transported to AdventHealth Celebration and pronounced dead at 8:26 a.m.

The report did not include a cause of death but noted the deceased had a history of hypertension and end-stage liver disease. There were no signs of injury, trauma, or drug use observed at the scene.

EW has reached out to representatives for Walt Disney World for comment.

This is the second time in one week that a Disney property guest has died.

Last Tuesday, a guest died near the Contemporary Resort hotel, just outside the Florida property's Magic Kingdom park.

A representative for Orlando's Orange County Medical Examiner identified the deceased as Summer Equitz, confirming that Equitz had been found dead due to an "apparent suicide."

"The manner of death has been ruled a suicide," the representative wrote in an email to EW, before listing the cause of death as "multiple blunt impact injuries."

Footage began circulating online that seemingly showed officials setting up a white tent on a Contemporary Resort balcony, with reports stating that the body was found on the track of the monorail. Before authorities confirmed the official cause of death, social media users began theorizing that it had been caused by a collision with the monorail.

The representative emphasized that, contrary to other reports, the Disney guest "was not struck by the monorail," calling that "erroneous information."

A similar incident occurred in 2016, when a guest reportedly jumped from one of the resort's ledges.

Earlier this month, EW confirmed another death of a Disney property guest, this time at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. A woman in her 60s was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, after riding the Haunted Mansion attraction there, Matt Sutter of the Anaheim Police Department confirmed to EW at the time. "Disneyland security personnel provided CPR until paramedics arrived," he said, though the woman was "later pronounced deceased." A cause of death has not been announced.**
