A 20-year-old Disney College Program hopeful tragically died after being struck by lightning in Florida, just days after arriving for his new adventure. Witnesses saw him collapse during a sudden storm and rushed to help—performing CPR until paramedics arrived. Despite emergency care, he was pronounced dead. His family revealed he was training for the Chicago Marathon, and Disney mourned his loss, honoring him as part of their growing community.
