Dominique Brown, a 34-year-old Disney theme park influencer, tragically passed away on December 5, 2023, after suffering a severe allergic reaction at a food event hosted by BoxLunch, a pop culture merchandise retailer, in Los Angeles. Brown, a resident of Long Beach, California, was a passionate Disney enthusiast who dedicated her online presence to sharing her love for the magical world of Disney with her followers. The event took a devastating turn when Brown unknowingly consumed food containing allergens, triggering a rapid and fatal medical emergency. Despite receiving immediate CPR at the scene and the prompt arrival of emergency services, Brown succumbed to her allergic reaction.

Brown’s sudden passing sent shockwaves through the Disney online community and beyond. Her brother, Patrick Ramos, expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from her social media followers, acknowledging the joy Disney brought her and the community she found online. He emphasized the deep bond they shared and the profound loss he feels at the passing of his sister and best friend. Brown’s final Instagram post, a vibrant video showcasing her infectious smile and playful spirit as she explored a Disney store in a Winnie the Pooh-themed outfit, became a poignant reminder of her vibrant personality and deep love for Disney. The post, ironically, featured a sweater gifted by BoxLunch, the very company hosting the event where the tragedy unfolded.

The circumstances surrounding Brown’s death raise concerns about food allergy awareness and safety protocols. Reports suggest that Brown inquired about the presence of peanuts in the food, allegedly being assured that it was safe for her to consume. The exact nature of the allergen and the circumstances that led to its inclusion in the food remain under investigation. However, the tragedy underscores the importance of clear communication, proper labeling, and diligent allergen management in food service settings, especially for catered events. Brown’s passing serves as a stark reminder of the potentially fatal consequences of food allergies and the need for increased vigilance.

BoxLunch released a statement expressing their profound sorrow and devastation at Brown’s passing, describing her as a beloved member of their “BoxLunch Collective.” They offered their condolences to her family and friends and pledged their support during this difficult time. While the official cause of death is yet to be publicly released, the incident highlights the critical need for enhanced allergy awareness and preventative measures at public events. Food allergies are a serious and growing concern, and this tragic event emphasizes the importance of proactive steps to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Brown’s dedication to the Disney community extended beyond her individual online presence. Alongside her friend Mia Von, a Dallas-based real estate agent, she co-created BlackGirlDisney, an initiative aimed at increasing representation and inclusivity for women of color within the Disney influencer sphere. This endeavor showcased her commitment to fostering a more diverse and welcoming Disney community, further amplifying the impact of her loss. Brown’s passion for Disney, her vibrant personality, and her dedication to creating a more inclusive community will be deeply missed by her followers, friends, and family.

Sadly, Brown’s death echoes a similar tragedy that occurred the previous year. Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan, a doctor at NYU Langone, died after an alleged allergic reaction to food consumed at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs. According to a lawsuit filed by her husband, Tangsuan repeatedly informed the restaurant staff about her nut and dairy allergies, yet she was served a meal that allegedly triggered a fatal reaction. These two incidents within the Disney sphere highlight the critical need for heightened awareness and stringent protocols regarding food allergies in restaurants and other public venues. They serve as a somber reminder of the devastating consequences that can result when proper precautions are not taken to protect those with food allergies.
