| Re: Sad News OMGoodness! During the Pirate Tutorial? I cannot for the life of me figure out what could have caused this kind of injury? I wonder if he was playing the part of Jack Sparrow? Jack jumps down from the wagon at one point during the tutorial....that's the only thing I can think of. This is so sad. I wonder if it is one of the CM's that my boys have had interaction during the tutorial's. So very, very sad. My heart and prayers go out to his friends, family and co-workers. |

| Re: Sad News So sad, Prayers to family and friends. It doesn't appear that Disney knew much of his injuries according to the Orlando Sentinel: www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-disney-performer-dies-081009,0,7112500.story

| Re: Sad News This is just so awful! It sounded like he was a consummate performer to the end - making sure that the children weren't frightened by what had happened.

| Re: Sad News Seems a bit odd, he was walking around after and laughing and joking in th eER, then the NEXT day he passes. I do not know about traumatic brain injury stuff, but that sounds really bad. Prayers to his family and all involved so tey do not carry too much guilt.

I'm confused by your comment Joanna....so it was a CM who played Jack or was it a CM who played Mac? Has anyone seen a picture of the CM posted anywhere yet? | |

| Re: Sad News  Not in costume, but here's a pic of the CM. The news story at this next link does indeed confirm that he played Mac. Mark Priest's life was marked by bear hugs, comic timing -- OrlandoSentinel.com
