No, this doesn't mean Disneyland is such a perfect place that bad things can't happen to you. Many people believe that if someone collapses and dies on Disney property, they would be quickly removed and not declared dead until they were outside.

There is a sort of truth to this but it's not as sinister as Disney dragging the recently deceased over property borders. The truth is people have died on Disney property, but that the actual declaration of death is some cases doesn't happen till later.

If someone is being treated for a life threatening injury they won't be declared dead until they reach a medical facility. This means someone who had a heart attack and died in an ambulance on Disney property wouldn't actually be declared dead until they reach hospital.

People have unfortunately been declared dead whilst at Disney. Even the most magical place on earth isn't safe from the Grim Reaper.
