10 Tragic Deaths That Happened At Disney Theme Parks

3. A Woman Died After A Trip On Space Mountain Allegedly Dislodged A Tumour Into Her Brain (Anaheim Disneyland)

Here's a very strange and curious death concerning a woman named Sherrill Ann Hoffman, who - ignoring the medical warning signs outside of Space Mountain in Anaheim Disneyland - boarded the ride in the August of 1974. Hoffman became ill whilst on Space Mountain, but found herself unable to get out of her car when the ride was over due to a malfunction. She was subsequently sent around the track again and returned to the unloading zone in a unconscious state. In the aftermath, Hoffman was taken into hospital and later fell into a coma. She died seven days after her visit. Though her death was listed as down to "natural causes," it was thought that her ride on Space Mountain had dislodged a heart tumour which had then entered her brain. Hoffman's husband attempted to sue Disney, but the case with ultimately dismissed.
