"The third person to die at a Disney property in 10 days committed suicide, according to the Orange County Coroner's Office in Florida. Matthew Cohn, 28, died last Thursday from multiple traumatic injuries after jumping from a building at Disney's Contemporary Resort in Florida, the coroner's office told EW and TMZ. His was the second suicide this month at the resort, authorities said, coming exactly 10 days after the Oct. 14 death of 31-year-old Summer Equitz, who jumped from the main building."
"Witnesses and other guests posted videos and photos of the enormous police presence they awoke to on Thursday morning, and their shock when speculation about a death was borne out. They said Disney staff knocked on their doors and told them not to look out their windows, while other personnel shielded hallway windows from prying eyes. Disney has seen a spate of deaths at its properties this month. Cohn's death occurred just two days after a man in his 60s suffered a fatal medical episode at Walt Disney World's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. About 2,500 miles away on Oct. 8, a woman also in her 60s died after becoming unresponsive on Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride in Anaheim, California."
Matthew Cohn, 28, died after jumping from an upper balcony in the Bay Tower of Disney's Contemporary Resort, sustaining multiple traumatic injuries. His death was ruled a suicide by the Orange County Coroner's Office and was the second suicide at the resort this month, occurring ten days after 31-year-old Summer Equitz jumped from the main building. Guests reported a large police presence, were asked by staff not to look out windows, and saw hallway windows shielded. The incident followed other recent fatalities at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides round-the-clock support for suicidal thoughts.
