LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - A costumed Disney World employee was run over and killed by a float during a Wednesday afternoon parade at the Magic Kingdom.
The death occurred in a backstage area near the Splash Mountain ride, said Jim Solomons, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Disney spokeswoman Rena Langley said the worker was about to enter the park when he was hit, and she wasn't sure if any visitors witnessed what happened.
Sheriff's spokesman Carlos Torres said the investigation showed the death was accidental.
