Brandon Zucker 10 months after he was injured in an accident in a Disneyland ride in 2000.

A boy seriously injured in a Disneyland ride has died 9 years after the accident, reports the Los Angeles Times. Brandon Zucker suffered severe brain damage and never recovered after he was crushed in a Roger Rabbit ride as a 4-year-old.

His father found Brandon unresponsive at home.
