Yet another tragedy has occurred for the Disney cast member community. 30 year old Anislav Varbanov died on Monday night due to a head injury that he suffered during a stunt show rehearsal. 

 

Varbanov was rehearsing for his part in Disney's Hollywood Studios' Indiana Jones stunt show when the accident occurred. He died an hour later. The accident will be investigated and Disney has already alerted the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 

 

Varbanov's death makes the third for a Disney cast member in two months. 21 year old Austin Wuennenberg was killed when the monorail that he was piloting collided with another in July. Mark Priest, a 47 year old cast member, died after he fell and suffered a head injury during the Captain Jack's Pirate Tutorial.

 

Disney released a statement yesterday saying, "We've lost a valued cast member and our thoughts and prayers are with his friends, family and coworkers tonight".
