An Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) spokesperson previously called the incident an “apparent suicide” and confirmed the guest had not been struck by a monorail, despite information on social media suggesting.
According to WKMG News 6, OCSO received a report about a dead body at approximately 6:40pm.
The New York Post is reporting that Equitz was a Disney superfan. A now-deleted missing persons thread was posted on Reddit, according to the established outlet.
“Equitz – who reportedly honeymooned at the theme park during happier times announced she was pregnant late last year – left her home in Naperville and booked a flight to Orlando without telling anyone, the now deleted thread said.”
