| 4yr old Mission Space & 12 year old Typhoon Lagoon Autopsy Reports Released
Daudi Bamuwamye died after riding "Mission: Space" in June. His mom noticed his legs were stiff during the four-minute ride and grabbed his hand, thinking he was scared. When the ride stopped, she noticed he was limp and carried him to the closest Disney employee, who called 9-1-1, but paramedics and doctors couldn't revive him. He had an abnormality of the heart muscle called idiopathic myocardial hypertrophy, with fibroelastosis of the left ventricle, the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office said.
Jerra Kirby, 12, died after she collapsed at Typhoon Lagoon in August. The Medical Examiner's office said she died of a condition called Myocarditis, which is an inflammation of the heart. The condition was caused by a virus and was not connected to anything at the theme park.
