A Florida sheriff’s office has concluded that the death of a 32-year-old man while riding a high-speed roller coaster at Universal’s Epic Universe theme park was accidental.

According to a report released Friday by the local medical examiner, Kevin Rodriguez Zavala suffered a deep cut on the left side of his forehead, a fracture to the bone ridge above his eye and bleeding above his skull. Additional injuries included bruises on his arms and abdomen, a broken nose and a fractured right thigh bone.

The Orlando medical examiner had already determined Zavala’s death was the result of blunt-impact trauma. Investigators from the Orange county sheriff’s office found that Epic Universe employees followed all safety procedures and were not negligent in what was deemed an accident.
