Disney stunt performer dies during rehearsal




A Walt Disney World stunt performer died after an accident while rehearsing for the Indiana Jones show at the Hollywood Studios theme park in Orlando.

A Disney spokeswoman says the stunt performer was rehearsing yesterday evening for the "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular" and was hurt while doing a tumbling roll. He was taken to the hospital and later died.

The performer`s name has not been released.

Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez says Disney officials have notified the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Orange County Sheriff`s Office of the accident.

Out of respect for the man, Suarez says the Indiana Jones show will not be performed today.
