Here's How Many People Have Died At Disneyland

In 2019, InTouch Weekly compiled a list of people who had died at Disneyland as of that date, and the publication put the number at 13. However, two things bear noting. First, it's unclear if that list was meant to be exhaustive or only include noteworthy incidents, and second, it does not appear to have been updated since then.

Nevertheless, if the list is accurate, then Disneyland's number of deaths is a fraction of that of its Florida cousin, Walt Disney World, which has had several dozen deaths over the decades.

In California, the first park fatality occurred 10 years after opening, in 1964, when a guest disregarded safety instructions and died of injuries sustained on the Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction. Other guests have died from failure to abide by safety rules as well, and also from suicide, drowning, and even murder. Two recent fatalities at the Southern California attraction involved guests dying after riding attractions, but they had underlying medical problems.
