RIP Mark : (

Post by Syndrome » Mon Aug 10, 2009 6:45 pm

I just read on Board X that Mark Priest, the CM who broke his neck during the pirate tutorial recently, passed away due to an unexpected complication (blood clot). I didn't see anything else about it here and I wanted to express my condolences to any of his friends that are here. He and his family are in my prayers. It's like there's a dark cloud over WDW lately with serious CM accidents. :(

Oh no, not another accident. When it rains it pours. Let's hope the rain has stopped.

I read about that on Board X as well, and it just makes my heart ache. Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family.

So sorry Notatourist, anyone else who knew him, and the WDW family of CM's in general. Once again, we're hurting with you and praying for you.

I for one am ready for this barrage of misfortune to end.

I'm so angry that it was a WET stage that caused his fall. COME ON!

Sorry. Just sad to lose such a big hearted guy.

OH man, you cannot be serious.

I am so sorry, Notatourist, for you and his other friends and family too and the whole Adventureland cast especially. It's just unthinkable.

A wet stage?! I thought they canceled or delayed shows whenever the stage was wet so the performers won't slip.


What a shame, sorry this happened. Way to many Cast Members have been lost recently.

Saw this earlier myself. It sucks. What they need is a good Loss Prevention officer. Some who spot stuff like this 'before' it happens.
