This is so sad. My condolences to his friends & family. I was trying to find a photo of him to see if it is the same one we usually see there - if anyone finds a picture, please PM me.

Hurting News. I exchanged jokes with him on my last visit. RIP.

How terrible! It reminds me of Natasha Richardson- a head injury that doesn't show it's true colors until later & it's too late.

I'm very sorry to hear this and my prayers go out to his family.

I don't remember there ever being this many castmember fatalities this close together. It's like there's a curse or something. Or, one might have to ask if there is a deeper issue going on like maybe reduced staffing, longer hours, cutbacks causing safety issues, etc. I'm sure OSHA will be looking into this.

Seems like a lot, but if you consider the no. of CMs working at all the parks and resorts day to day and all the things they do, I'm amazed that, statistically, there aren't more serious injuries or fatalities.

This is indeed tragic news. Working in a Trauma Neuore Intesive Care Unit a lot has shown me how simple things (like a fall) can lead to tragic endings. My prayers and heart go out to his parents, friends and loved ones

Thank you Doombuggy.

My condolences to his family. My hope is that they can take some comfort in the fact that he brought joy to many people through his performances.

There is a video of Mark Priest's performance as Mack on YouTube. Do a search of his name; it's the second video that appears, titled "Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial."
