On December 2, 2026, at 8:55pm, WDWActiveCrime tracked an Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) call at Disney Springs that was initially dispatched as a “person down” and later upgraded to a “dead person” call.
According to real-time monitoring and eyewitness accounts shared on the WDWActiveCrime X (formerly Twitter) page, the incident occurred in the area of the Orange Garage. Multiple witnesses reported that the scene was heavily blocked from public view, including sightlines from the upper levels of the Orange Garage and the nearby Coca-Cola Store, as deputies and security personnel restricted access.
At this time, no official statements have been released by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office or Disney regarding the circumstances of the incident. Details surrounding the individual involved, cause, or manner of death have not been confirmed.
WDWActiveCrime was the first outlet to report the escalation of the call in real time based on live OCSO dispatch data. As with all developing incidents, information may evolve as authorities complete their investigation and release verified details.
