@streamingthemagic: A 20-year-old Disney College Program participant has died following an apparent lightning strike in Celebration, Florida. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office identified the young man as Matthew Eric Jenkins of Shelby Township, Michigan. Deputies responded at approximately 6:25 p.m. on September 8th after Jenkins was found unresponsive along a walking path behind a hotel on Bloom Street known as ‘The Inn at Celebration’. Witnesses reported observing a lightning strike in the area. Bystanders performed CPR before Jenkins was transported to AdventHealth Celebration, where he was pronounced dead. Jenkins’ father told WESH 2 that his son had moved to Central Florida the previous week to begin the Disney College Program. Detectives are awaiting the medical examiner’s determination of the official cause of death. The investigation remains ongoing. Our thoughts are with Matthew’s family & friends during this incredibly difficult time. #DisneyCollegeProgram #CelebrationFlorida #FloridaNews
