Disneyland Parking Structure Fall Leads to Woman's Death

Police are investigating after a woman died after a fall from a parking building at Disneyland.

Officers were called to the scene at around 6:50 p.m. on Saturday after receiving reports of a person who fell from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure at 1313 Disneyland Drive in Anaheim, California, KCAL News reported.

They found a woman lying on the ground. According to the news station, she received treatment at the scene and was then transported to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The victim, identified only as an adult female, either "fell or leapt" from the parking structure, Anaheim police spokesman Sgt. Jon McClintock was quoted as saying by the Los Angeles Times.

No other information about the woman was immediately available and it was not clear if she was a guest at the resort.

Newsweek has contacted the Anaheim Police Department and Disneyland for comment.

The seven-story Mickey and Friends Parking Structure was the largest in the U.S. when it opened in 2000, and provides a connecting shuttle service to the Disneyland theme park. The structure has been the scene of several deaths since it opened—most recently in December.

Christopher Christensen, 51, a principal at Newland Elementary School in Huntington Beach, died by suicide after a jump or fall from the structure on December 3, police said at the time.

Christensen's death came days before he was scheduled to appear in court Monday on misdemeanor counts of child endangerment and battery. He had pleaded not guilty to the charges.

A Facebook post published shortly after his death referred to the charges and said they came after he had a "heated" argument with his wife in front of her two young daughters.

"Tempers were flared and strong words were exchanged between us. However, never in this exchange did I hit, slap, or hurt Marlena in any manner. Nor did I ever touch the girls (I never have and never will). I love the girls like my own and they know that, as does everyone else who truly knows me," Christensen had written.

Christensen said his school had placed him on administrative leave during the case.

"So, here I am...writing my final FB post to all of you," he said. "I need you all to know that a gentle, kind, loving and sincerely good man has been destroyed by one unfortunate night. It really is unfortunate! This is NOT me! This is NOT something that I ever thought would happen to me."
