A woman in her 60s died earlier this week after riding Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion attraction, according to news reports.

An investigation is underway in Anaheim, Calif., KCRA Channel 3 Sacramento reported Thursday.

The Anaheim Police Department confirmed in a statement to Deadline on Wednesday that the woman was “unresponsive” and received CPR from Disneyland security personnel before paramedics brought her to hospital on Monday. According to Deadline, she was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Officials haven’t determined a cause of death. However, Anaheim fire and rescue workers said the woman appears to have died from a medical episode not connected to the ride, according to a CNN video report.

Officials called it “an unfortunate medical episode” and say there’s no indication of any issues with the ride, NBC News reported Wednesday.

The ride opened soon after the incident, according to reports.

The Haunted Mansion is considered a family friendly attraction. It’s described as a “gentle” ride on Disneyland’s website. However, it added that the special effects may scare young children.
