Police in Anaheim, California, are investigating after a man was found dead on Sunday beneath an entrance sign at the Disneyland Resort, near 800 West Katella Avenue. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene after a call around 1:45 p.m. The New York Post reports that a beer can was found near the body and that the cause of death is unknown. The Daily Beast reports that police said the death appeared to be natural, with no suspicion of foul play, and that the 65-year-old man was known to them as homeless. Breitbart, citing the Los Angeles Times, gives the same age. The park entrance was temporarily closed while officers waited for the coroner.

What is contested

Where accounts differ

Points the coverage does not agree on, and who says what.

  • The cause of the man’s death.

    The New York Post reports the cause is unknown and that a beer can was found near the body without an established link. The Daily Beast reports that Anaheim Police Sergeant Eric Anderson said the death appeared to be from natural causes, with no suspicion of foul play. Breitbart does not state a cause in the supplied text.

How each side tells it

Compare views

All three outlets report that a man was found dead on a sidewalk near the Disneyland Resort entrance in Anaheim on Sunday, and that police are investigating. The left-side Daily Beast headline says “Disturbing Discovery”, while right-side outlets use plain “dead body” headlines and report an unknown cause.

    The Daily Beast headline frames the death as a “Disturbing Discovery” and leads with the closed entrance; it is the only left-side report in the input.

    Both right-side headlines state a plain body discovery near the entrance with no judgement, and the Far Right Breitbart headline is no different from the Right New York Post.
