A worker has died at a haunted house attraction at Disneyland Paris, according to a park official.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she wasn’t authorized to be publicly named, said the Phantom Manor ride is closed and a police investigation is underway.
The park said in a statement to The Associated Press on Tuesday that “We at Disneyland Paris are truly saddened to learn of the passing …. Our hearts go out to family and friends at this difficult time.”
Disneyland Paris wouldn’t provide further details.
Le Parisien newspaper reported that the 45-year-old worker died while conducting maintenance early Saturday before the park was open in an apparent electrical accident.
The park employs about 15,000 people and sees about 15 million visitors per year.

iT MIGHT HELP YOUR READERSHIP GROW IF YOU ACTUALLY GAVE THE WHOLE STORY AND DETAILS, SIO PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THE HELL YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT.
Seems pretty clear to me. ….45 year old worker dies of electrocution while performing maintenance on the haunted house ride in Disneyland Paris. What more do you want to know…. if the electrical charge caused him to soils his undergarment?
I think they’re telling you all they know. I for one wouldn’t want them to ’embellish’ just for the sake of a better story. If Disney won’t talk, and the worker can only say so much without losing her job, we just have to wait, right?
Seems pretty clear to me also…
