Disneyland employee falls in park, dies of natural causes

A Disney cast member collapsed last Wednesday in Disneyland amusement park, and later died.

Philip Doyle, 58, worked in the food services department.  Doyle was making a delivery after 1 pm near the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and his co-workers got concerned when he didn’t return quickly.   He was found with very shallow breathing.

An Anaheim ambulance was called around 1:18pm and he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at 2:16 pm, said Deputy Coroner Larry Esslinger.

Disney officials released a statement, “Philip was a longtime member of our Disney family. As we grieve his loss, we also offer our deepest sympathy to Philip’s family, friends and loved ones.”
