The identity and cause of death of a 70-year-old woman who became unresponsive after riding an attraction at Universal Orlando have been released weeks after her death, according to state and medical examiner reports, as reported by Fox News.
The woman, identified as Ma de la Luz Mejia Rosas, lost consciousness while riding the Revenge of the Mummy indoor roller coaster on Nov. 25, 2025, according to a report from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. She was transported to a nearby hospital after becoming unresponsive during the ride.
Rosas later died on Dec. 9 at Orlando Regional Medical Center. A report from the Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office, obtained by the Orlando Sentinel, determined that she died from a ruptured aneurysm without trauma.

Her identity was publicly confirmed Thursday by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who said he has been retained by Rosas’ family.
“Mrs. Rosas went to the park to enjoy time with her children and grandchildren, expecting a safe and joyful experience. Instead, her family is now left grieving and searching for answers,” Crump said in a statement.

“They deserve a full understanding of what happened before, during, and after this ride.”
Crump said he plans to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rosas’ death. He added that he will “thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding this tragedy and ensure her family’s voice is heard.”
Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor roller coaster themed around the films The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. The attraction reaches speeds of up to 45 miles per hour and has operated at Universal Orlando since opening in 2004.
According to data included in the FDACS report, there have been 21 reported incidents associated with the ride since it opened.
Those incidents range from nausea and dizziness to more serious medical events, including a seizure and a vertebra fracture.
The FDACS report tracks incidents by quarter at amusement parks that employ full-time safety inspectors. Those parks are required to self-report incidents because they are exempt from routine state inspections.
The report noted that during the October-to-December 2025 period, six health-related incidents were reported at Walt Disney World, while no incidents were reported at other major Florida parks, including SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Legoland.
Rosas’ death comes just months after another fatal incident at Universal Orlando.
On Sept. 17, 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala became unresponsive while riding the Stardust Racers roller coaster at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe park. Authorities said Zavala suffered multiple blunt force injuries and later died at a hospital.
Attorneys for Zavala’s family argued that Universal ignored “multiple” warning signs prior to his death and said the incident was not “isolated,” citing reports from other riders who claimed similar injuries on the same attraction.
Crump also represented Zavala’s family and said last month that an amicable resolution had been reached between Universal and the family. The terms of that agreement were not disclosed.
