It saddens me to report the untimely loss of Walt Disney World Cast Member Mark Priest. Mark was an actor in "Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial," the interactive show performed in front of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction at Magic Kingdom. Mark apparently hurt himself while performing last Thursday, and died from his injury yesterday (Monday).

On behalf of Disney and Walt Disney World fans everywhere, I wish to offer my condolences to Mark's friends, family, and fellow Cast Members.
