Dead body found in haunted house at Disneyland Paris

The body of a dead man has been found at Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor.

The haunted house attraction has been closed to the public whilst French authorities investigate the death. There are no plans to open the ride imminently. The deceased, who was discovered by park officials, has been identified as a 45-year-old Disney employee. He was a father from Noisy-le-Grand, and had worked at the park since 2002. Patrick Maldidier, a Disneyland union representative, told Le Parisien that the man "always had a smile on his face". His name has not been disclosed at this stage. The circumstances around the death remain unclear, although reports suggest he suffered a fatal electric shock. Investigations continue.
