ORLANDO, Fla. – A medical examiner’s report has revealed the cause of death for a 70-year-old woman who died after riding Universal Orlando’s Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster in November.
Ma De La Luz Mejia Rosas died on Nov. 25 at a local hospital following her experience on the ride. News 6 first reported the death after Universal included it in their quarterly theme park injury report to the Florida Department of Agriculture.
According to the medical examiner’s findings, Rosas succumbed to a “ruptured aneurysm without trauma.”
Located at Universal Studios, Revenge of the Mummy is a popular indoor roller coaster known for its intense drops and special effects. The attraction’s safety guidelines warn guests with heart conditions, high blood pressure, and back or neck problems not to ride.
Following the incident, Rosas’ family retained prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who recently represented another family in a death investigation at Universal’s Epic Universe involving the Stardust Racers attraction in September.

Prior to the medical examiner’s findings, Crump’s law firm stated the family was “seeking answers and full transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding her death, including information related to the ride’s operations, safety protocols, maintenance history, and any available incident data.”
News 6 has reached out to Crump’s office for comment.
