A terminally ill 6-year-old boy from Israel visiting Walt Disney World as a last wish died in August after riding Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain, state records show.

The boy, Rame Masarwa, suffered from terminal cancer of the lungs, abdomen and spine, according to the Medical Examiner's Office for Orange and Osceola counties. He fainted after riding Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom the afternoon of Aug. 1, was transported to Florida Hospital Celebration and died that night, according to records.

Rame's death was ruled natural by Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Angellee S. Chen after an external examination and review of his medical history. A metastatic pulmonary blastoma tumor was cited as the cause."
