A woman was seen falling to her death from a hotel at Disney World in what police are treating as suicide.
Florida police are investigating the death with rumours circulating on social media claiming guests had witnessed someone falling from an unknown floor at the Contemporary Resort hotel.
Deputies then received reports that someone "may have jumped from the building" at around 4pm local time on Monday, reports The Sun .
Police and Reed Creek Fire Department vehicles rushed to the scene near the Magic Kingdom theme park where the casualty was found unresponsive before being pronounced dead.
Despite an official cause of death having not yet been confirmed, Orange County Sheriff's office are treating it as suicide - while the woman's identity has not been revealed.
In a statement, police said: “On 3/4/2020 at about 4 p.m., deputies responded to the Contemporary Resort after a call came in about someone who may have jumped off the building.
"Deputies and the Reedy Creek Improvement District responded and found a female, unresponsive, who was later pronounced deceased on scene.
"At this time, we believe this was a suicide, and we have no other information to release.”
Some people on social media have claimed the woman was seen falling within feet of the monorail track which takes guest back into the hotel.
While passengers aboard the monorail claim they saw someone fall from the hotel building.
One person tweeted: "We saw someone fall from the hotel.
"I didn’t personally witness it.
"My mother in law was with me on the monorail, and she claims she saw it (and gasped), but I was looking down."
As a result, all transport in and out of the flagship theme park has been halted and guests have been warned to expect delays.
In March 2016, a man leaped from the inner A-frame tower at the resort - which originally opened to public in October 1971.
