According to a post on Reddit, a guest reportedly committed suicide at Disney’s Old Key West Resort last week.
FYI: The information was posted in a thread (thread comment) on the fan-run Walt Disney World community page on the social media platform. The thread was called ‘Pretty sure someone died at Bay Lake Towers’. You can find out about that incident here
Approximately one day ago, u/disabled_flower95 posted the now-deleted comment:
“I had a man off himself next door at the Key West about a week ago when we were in [our] the room. The noise was deafening [and] scared the shit out of us. I thought someone shot through the window.
We assumed [a] golf ball cracked through the window or someone set off a firecracker inside the room. They were in the attached deluxe studio to our one bedroom. The resort did everything to try and keep us out of the room and around.
Chef Mickeys even kept us later and did extra magic but I honestly couldn’t get over the noise. It scared my one-year-old and newborn to death.”
What’s interesting to note is that @disabled_flower95 said they were offered counselling, which is rather excellent to hear.
At this time, this is all the information we have. We’re in the process of reaching out to Walt Disney World and Orange County Sheriff’s Office to find out more. Stay tuned as we investigate further.
PSA: If you’re contemplating suicide, we urge you, please reach out for help.
