A fifth person has died at a lavish Florida Disney World resort in a chilling string of deaths in less than a month that’s cast a dark shadow over the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”

The unidentified guest was reportedly pronounced dead at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa in Lake Buena Vista, just steps from Disney Springs, on Nov. 8, the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to The Post Wednesday.

Here’s the latest on the recent deaths at Disney World in Orlando


“Although there was a death at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, we declined jurisdiction,” the Medical Examiner said in a statement, noting the body was ultimately turned over to the individual’s personal physician.

The grim news was first reported by a Disney World-focused X account “Walt Disney World: Active Calls,” which tracks real-time police activity across the massive theme park.

A person was first reported “down” at the Saratoga Springs property at 3:18 p.m., according to the account. Minutes later, it delivered a grim update that the individual was “dead.”

The Victorian-style resort — tucked between manicured golf-course greens and packed with pools and a spa — boasts studio and multi-bedroom villas complete with living and dining areas, in-room laundry and full kitchens, with some stays costing a staggering $2,300 a night, according to its website. 

No further details about their mysterious death have been released.

Disney and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The eerie wave of deaths at the sprawling theme park started on Oct. 14, when Disney superfan Summer Equitz, 31, was found dead at the Contemporary Resort in an apparent suicide, hours after she vanished from her Illinois home, local authorities said.

Just days later, another guest at the park, identified only as a man in his 60s, died from a pre-existing medical condition at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground on Oct. 21, police said.

The incident took place in the 1500 loop, or site Cottontail Curl, one of 21 resort-based trails and campsites on Disney’s Orlando property.

Tragedy struck the Contemporary Resort again on Oct. 23 when 28-year-old Matthew Alec Cohn, an aspiring football referee from Los Angeles, leapt from the 12th floor of the popular hotel in an apparent suicide, officials said.

And on Nov. 2, a woman in her 40s was found unresponsive at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, a budget hotel connected to Epcot and Hollywood Studios near the famed Skyliner, and was later pronounced dead.
