Another violent death at Disney community in Florida - CNN.com
(CNN) -- A Disney-developed community in central Florida saw its second instance of deadly violence this week when a resident turned a gun on himself during a standoff with a SWAT team, authorities said Friday.
The death followed an unrelated case Monday in which the community of Celebration recorded its first homicide in its 14-year history, authorities said. The discovery of 58-year-old Matteo Giovanditto in his home was deemed a homicide. His car was found 10 miles away in Kissimmee, Florida.
Celebration's picture-perfect layout of manicured lawns and classic movie theaters -- likened to the film "Pleasantville" about two teens trapped in a 1950s TV show -- is five miles south of Walt Disney World in Orlando.
