Reuters is reporting some additional details now. The family claims there was no previous history of ill health prior to the ride and that when the ride ended the child was limp and unresponsive. There is also more detail on the post-death inspection of the attraction.
I wonder if the child was on any anti-depressants or other psychiatric drugs. With possible side effects of heart problems and brain damage, an exciting ride could cause problems. There are currently millions of young children on these drugs for ADD, learning problems, etc. Since we are living in a drug culture, I think Disneyworld would need to post something, some sign concerning children on these drugs or maybe we could just stop putting kids on drugs.
