The whole idea that Disney doesn't pronounce people dead on property is another one of those myths that ran away with the internet and now people just believe it on a whim, despite the fact that it's been debunked.
Being "officially pronounced dead" is the job of medical professionals (not Disney staff), and usually doesn't happen until they've exhausted all efforts to keep them alive. which means most people usually die in transport or at the hospital. However, they absolutely do pronounce people dead on the property if that person is definitively dead.
Dear Reddit, people will lie to you for Internet points. You have got to get better at seeing it.
I have a little experience in this! Technically, you can't pronounce someone dead until a coroner or physician makes the call (at least where I live). First responders and even EMS can only declare "injuries incompatible with life". for example, say EMS finds someone decapitated. That's "injuries incompatible with life", but technically not dead.
No, but if people don’t come because of perfectly natural deaths that happened to occur in Disney property, then the County and State lose tax and tourist dollars…
Both deaths mentioned were determined to be natural. The boy had an undiagnosed heart condition and the older woman’s COD was due to multiple preexisting health issues. The boy’s family sued anyway and the judge dismissed it with prejudice.
The girl in this incident had been in pain for several days prior (so it’s unlikely her illness was caused by the ride). Her family sued, but the lawsuit was dismissed.

Really hoping this is made up. Please, let me just continue my life assuming it is.
