4-Year-Old Dies After Fainting on Disney Ride
An autopsy was being conducted on a 4-year-old girl who died on a ride at Disney World’s Epcot ’95 amusement park.
Linda Elaine Baker of Galveston, Tex., was flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center after fainting on Body Wars, a bumpy, 4 1/2-minute ride that simulates a trip into the human body. She died Tuesday evening.
Linda had been wearing her seat belt and sitting next to her mother when she slumped in her seat, and an employee monitoring the ride by closed-circuit camera stopped the ride and called paramedics, police said. Two nurses on the ride performed CPR.
