French police are investigating the death of a Spanish girl (14) who lost consciousness while riding a roller coaster at Disneyland Paris.
The cause of the girl's death, which happened yesterday, is unclear. A preliminary inspection of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster ride found no problems with the machinery, a Disneyland spokesman said.
The girl was found unconscious by her friends once the ride had ended at the theme park which is in Marne-la-Vallee, east of the French capital.
Medical teams at the theme park tried to revive her, but by the time the ambulance arrived, the girl had died, the spokesman said.
An autopsy is due to take place today.
The ride, which has been shut down, is at Walt Disney Studios Park, one of two theme parks at Disneyland Resort Paris. The complex, which opened in 1992, was formerly called Euro Disney.
