Man found dead in Disneyland Paris haunted house
An investigation is underway after staff at Disneyland Paris found a colleague dead in the park’s haunted house, Phantom Manor.
According to a report in the French English online newspaper, The Local, the technician’s body was discovered at around 9am on Saturday morning.
His death was officially pronounced an hour later.
French media said an initial investigation suggests he was electrocuted.
They said he was 45-year-old father, from the Paris area, who had worked at the park since 2002.
Disneyland Paris was open at the weekend but Phantom Manor has been closed since the discovery.
A statement from Disneyland Paris said: "We are truly saddened to learn of the passing of one of our Cast Members, and our hearts go out to his family and friends during this very difficult time."
