Man who died on Universal Orlando roller coaster had a spinal condition, report says
Emergency workers who responded to Universal Orlando Resort's newest park for a man who had become unresponsive on a roller coaster originally were told he had lacerations. Orange County, Florida, firefighters and Universal emergency workers tried to revive Kevin Rodriguez Zavala on a platform next to the Stardust Racers roller coaster Wednesday, but the 32-year-old man was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital, according to an incident report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. After performing an autopsy, Joshua Stephany, the medical examiner for the Orlando area, ruled the cause of death as multiple blunt impact injuries and said the manner of death was an accident.
