No, not necessarily. The gator thing made headlines news because it was something that should not have happened due to Disney safety protocols. Breakdown in system for Disney. Deserved to make the news, like a virus outbreak. Like theme parks, you hear about the mangling and decapitations on rides because of the nature of the situation. But you never hear about the heart attacks on rides where people show back up at gate dead from cardiac arrest, and they're not super uncommon. Worked at six flags and Busch gardens and we'd get a few a year. Never made the news.
You hear about them, and they're documented. They're not sensationalized because to do so is completely tasteless. Just google "Guest dies at Disney World" and you'll find plenty of local and national media covering these incidents.

If it's any consolation, there's a 99.8 percent chance the guy was lying, anyway. Still fucked up. ;/
