Disneyland Resort president Ken Potrock acknowledged Lear's death in a statement shared with multiple outlets: "We are heartbroken by the loss of Bonnye and offer our sincere condolences to everyone who cared for her."
"At this time, we are focused on supporting her family and our cast members through this tragic event and making sure they have the resources they need," the statement continued.
As the Orange County Register reported, a Disney California Adventure Attractions cast member made a social media post saying that Lear was in the rear-facing seat of the golf cart that was carrying three other people.
According to the Facebook post cited by the outlet, when the cart hit a bump, "she went to grab the handrail," but it "gave way and sent her out of the vehicle."
