Several reports corroborate a story of a guest falling to their death at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort early Wednesday morning, July 26, 2023.

Guest Dies After Falling at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Reports out of Walt Disney World Wednesday morning detail a tragic scene where a guest fell to their death. Guests on Reddit reported getting phone calls stating a “medical emergency” and to not go out onto their balconies. The 5th-floor sky bridge connecting Bay Lake Tower to Disney’s Contemporary Resort was also closed to guests for a time. Another TikTok user posted a video chronicling the incident.

Staying at Bay Lake. Security wouldn’t allow us to take the 5th floor bridge to Contemporary this morning. Walked outside and saw the scene being cleaned up & investigated from a distance. Apparent suicide. Prayers to the family.
