A woman died after falling from Disneyland’s seven-story Mickey and Friends parking garage in California.

According to Sergeant Jon McClintock of the Anaheim Police Department, police received a 911 report concerning a person who had either fallen or jumped at a parking structure at Disneyland on Saturday, February 18 at around 6:50 pm.


The Southern California park’s guests leave their cars in the Mickey and Friends parking garage. Officers promptly responded and found a woman on the ground.

The woman was given first aid and CPR by paramedics before being taken to the hospital, where she was later declared dead.

The incident, which is the second recent one at Disneyland, is being looked into by Anaheim police, who claim they are unclear about what caused it but they suspect it was a suicide.

The woman was identified as Marney Schoenfeld, 46, of Scottsdale, Arizona, an Orange County Coroner’s Office spokesman told People. The woman’s devastated husband, Randy Schoenfeld, a real estate agent in Arizona, said in an email to People, “She was a loving mother to her daughter, Sydney. She was a caring wife to me. She was a talented hairstylist of 23 years and her clients loved her.”

According to a tweet, a bomb squad was sent to the area approximately an hour after the woman fell to examine an abandoned bag near the garage’s bottom.

The parking garage, which at its opening in 2000 held more than 10,000 automobiles and was the biggest parking structure in the world, has seen fatal accidents before.

In December 2022, a 51-year-old man committed suicide in the parking structure. He was later revealed to be an elementary school principal and the son of a well-known Disney song director.  In front of park visitors, including small children, Chris Christensen, the principal of Huntington Beach’s William T. Newland Elementary School, leaped to his death.

The man claimed in a Facebook suicide note that his wife had unjustly accused him of domestic violence and phoned the police, leading to his placement on administrative leave, causing his depression.
