New Details Revealed About Man Who Died After Riding Roller Coaster

New details have been revealed about a 32-year-old man who died after riding a roller coaster in Florida.

The rider — identified as Kevin Rodriguez Zavala — was found unresponsive after riding the Stardust Racers roller coaster at the Universal Epic Universe theme park in Orlando on Wednesday, Sept. 17, and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

An autopsy revealed that he died from “multiple blunt impact injuries,” the Chief Medical Examiner for Orange and Osceola counties said in a statement previously shared with PEOPLE, noting that his death was ruled an accident.

In an incident report obtained by PEOPLE, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said officials were told he had a preexisting spinal injury and had been taking medicine.

Photos posted on a GoFundMe to support his family showed him using a wheelchair.

The GoFundMe organizer did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

A non-emergency call from the Orange County Fire Rescue Department that was shared with PEOPLE alongside the incident report stated that officials were told to respond to a patient who had a laceration. When they got there, he wasn’t breathing and CPR was already in progress.

He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital later just after 10:00 p.m. local time, according to the incident report.

A deputy also transported his girlfriend of about 10 years to the hospital, according to the incident report.

Although an investigation is ongoing, park officials and local authorities have said the ride was functioning properly.

“Our internal findings to date confirm that the ride systems functioned as intended, equipment was intact at the ride’s start, throughout the duration of the ride and upon the ride vehicle’s return to the station, and our Team Members followed procedures,” Universal Orlando Resort President and COO Karen Irwin told colleagues in an undated letter obtained by NBC affiliate WESH.

Additionally, NBC Miami reported that investigators with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said their initial findings found that the ride was working correctly.

Neither FDACS nor the Universal Orlando Resort immediately responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Zavala was remembered by loved ones as having a “heart full of compassion, love, and understanding.”

“Kevin was truly one of a kind. He had an old soul—wise beyond his years,” his loved ones wrote in a message on GFM. “He was the kind of person who always made time to listen, offer thoughtful advice, and lift others up, even when he was facing challenges of his own.”

“His presence lit up every room, and his absence leaves a space no one can fill,” the message continued.
