In October, several news outlets reported that only 68 known deaths had occurred in Disney World since 1971. 68 deaths in 648 months is about 0.1 deaths per month.
(Supposedly) They wait to declare you dead off site, to keep the numbers low. So you didn't die AT disney, you had a heart attack and died at the nearest hospital.
I know someone who drove transport EMT for awhile, and I can tell you places are really weird about where you die. More than once places tried to get them to transport dying people (and once tried to trick them into taking a dead body), and places would refuse to take a non-stable person in but would instead work on them in the truck or litterally outside the hospital. I guess lawsuits are more of a factor than I realize? Said they were never told to try to hide deaths so
Ok now that number just sounds low? Sus? What are they doing to make it so low? Tens of millions of people visit this place per year and you're telling me in 54 years only 68 have died?
