According to TMZ, officials have determined the cause and manner of death of a guest found dead at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
A representative for the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office told the established outlet that the guest, identified as Matthew Cohn, died of multiple traumatic injuries and the death has been ruled a suicide.
According to The U.S. Sun, Cohn paid cash for his room at Bay Lake Tower with cash and jumped from the 12th floor (you can find out more here).
Cohn’s death marked the third Walt Disney World guest death in a matter of 10 days, following a woman who died by suicide at the Contemporary Resort in early October and a man who died after a “medical episode” at Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
