Seventy‑year‑old Ma de la Luz Mejia Rosas became unresponsive while riding Universal Orlando’s Revenge of the Mummy on Nov. 25, 2025, and died Dec. 9; the Orange County Medical Examiner ruled the cause a ruptured aneurysm without trauma. Her family has retained civil‑rights attorney Ben Crump to investigate, and state records show 21 medical or injury incidents on that coaster since 2004 (ranging from nausea to a vertebra fracture), while FDACS’ latest quarter logged six health‑related incidents at Walt Disney World and none at SeaWorld, Busch Gardens or Legoland; another guest, 32‑year‑old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, died after becoming unresponsive on Universal’s Stardust Racers in Sept. 2025, his family alleges prior warnings were ignored.
