ORLANDO, FL (AP) — Walt Disney World has been cited by federal officials for the death of a worker during a monorail accident last summer.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Wednesday proposed fining Disney World $44,000 in penalties for the monorail accident that killed 21-year-old Austin Wuennenberg.

A spokesman for the theme park resort wasn't immediately available for comment.

Disney World has 15 days to comply with recommendations, contest the citations or seek a meeting with OSHA investigators.
