Police were called to the scene near the resort's main entrance, leading to a temporary closure of the sidewalk.
Anaheim police are investigating after a man was found dead on Sunday morning near an entrance to the Disneyland Resort in California. Authorities were alerted to the incident at approximately 1:45 p.m. at the 800 block of West Katella Avenue, where paramedics pronounced the individual deceased at the scene.
The investigation focused on the area beneath the large, arched blue Disneyland Resort entrance sign. Officers cordoned off the sidewalk with yellow crime scene tape and erected a privacy screen to shield the area from public view. According to reports, a beer can was found near the deceased, but its connection to the death has not yet been determined. The cause of death is currently unknown.
Orange County Coroner's office personnel were observed loading a gurney into a van. Uniformed Anaheim police officers remained at the perimeter to document the scene. Pedestrians were rerouted around the taped-off section while the investigation was underway. The Los Angeles Times reported that the deceased was a 65-year-old man.
