Witnesses have described the chilling moment they heard a “huge bang” as a Disney superfan jumped to her death at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel after flying to Florida without her family.
Summer Equitz, 31, died at the Contemporary Resort after leaping from a 12th-floor balcony in front of horrified guests and staff on Oct. 14.
A married couple who were staying at the hotel have described the horrifying moment Equitz landed just 10 feet away from where they were standing on the fourth-floor observation deck.
“[They] were standing on the balcony outside by the chairs looking out at the view when they heard a loud noise and turned to see a female laying on the ground … an estimated 10 yards away,” according to an incident report from an Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputy obtained by The Post.
One of the witnesses “moved closer to see if she was breathing, which she did not appear to be,” the report stated.
Another witness described seeing “a person out of the corner of her eye and heard a huge bang.”
A member of staff at the hotel had been on the 15th-floor observation deck with a coworker when Equitz jumped to her death from three floors below.
“When he got to the 12th floor, [he] discovered a blue tote bag resting against the steel rail guard,” the report states.
