However, those early reports/rumors proved to be false; however, authorities did find a woman’s body who died from an apparent suicide.

According to the New York Post, the woman who died at the Contemporary was Summer Equitz, 31, from Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

Her favorite Disney movie was Beauty and the Beast, and she one day dreamed of playing Belle. She also posted a photo with Disney CEO Bob Iger at Disneyland on social media. However, there is still some mystery surrounding just how she ended up at Disney World from her home in Illinois and why she took her own life at the parks. According to the Post, a since-deleted Reddit post from someone claiming to be Equitz’s relative, she had flown to Disney World on Tuesday morning “without telling” her family.

However, she has not posted any further updates on her pregnancy since then.

We will continue to update this ongoing story as more information becomes available.
