Disney Cast Member dies after accident at Hollywood Studios
[17 Aug 2009] Officials say a Walt Disney World cast member died after an accident at the Hollywood Studios theme park.
A Disney spokeswoman says a stunt performer was injured Monday evening while rehearsing for the "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular." The performer, who was hurt while doing a tumbling roll, was transported to the hospital and later died. "We lost a valued cast member and our thoughts are with his family, friends and co-workers as they mourn his passing tonight," read a statement released to FOX 35 by the Walt Disney Company. Disney officials notified the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Orange County Sheriff's Office of the accident. Out of respect for the deceased cast member, Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez says the Indiana Jones show will not be performed Tuesday.

How very awful - I cannot believe that WDW is having such terrible luck with these tragedies at the moment. Sending love to all the family involved, the friends, cast members and those who witnessed it.

Goodness me they are not having a very good time at the moment. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Apart from the monorail incident, the other two do sound like poor accidents and nothing that Disney could do about either of them. It still makes all the CM's deaths very sad though.
