LOS ANGELES (AP) — An autopsy found that a 28-year-old woman who died after a roller coaster ride had suffered an aneurysm of the cerebral artery and bleeding near her brain stem, officials said.
The aneurysm may have been a pre-existing condition, but the roller coaster ride caused the fatal injuries, Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said Sunday.
The woman, Pearl Santos, was found slumped over in her seat when the three-minute Goliath coaster ride came to an end Saturday at Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park.
