Man who jumped to death at Disneyland was Huntington Beach school principal


A man who jumped to his death from a parking structure at Disneyland on Saturday night, Dec. 3, was the principal of a Huntington Beach elementary school.

Christopher Christensen, 51, of Westminster was found dead after someone reported a man fell from the Mickey & Friends parking structure at around 9 p.m., according to Anaheim police and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

Police said his death was likely a suicide.

Christensen, who was a principal at Newland Elementary School, left a lengthy post on his Facebook page.

“I hate when people leave this Earth with so many unanswered questions. So, I hope this provides some insight and perspective…” he wrote.

The note described a dispute in which police had been summoned. “I am on the brink of losing my job,” he wrote. “So, here I am…writing my final FB post to all of you. I need you all to know that a gentle, kind, loving and sincerely good man has been destroyed by one unfortunate night.”

“With all of this said, I have truly loved educating and leading thousands of students and families as a principal in FVSD for the past 21+ years,” he wrote in the note. “I have made so many wonderful connections with families over the years and those who know me closely know how much I cared for my students, staff and families. Please remember me for all the good I brought to the world of education.”

“I am on the brink of losing my job,” he wrote. “So, here I am…writing my final FB post to all of you. I need you all to know that a gentle, kind, loving and sincerely good man has been destroyed by one unfortunate night.”

According to Orange County Superior Court records, Christensen was charged on Nov. 22 with misdemeanor counts of child abuse and endangerment, and battery. Christensen pleaded not guilty to both charges.

The court records show the alleged acts were believed to have occurred on Nov. 15. Christensen was taken into custody after that — he posted $10,000 bond and was released on Nov. 17.

He was due in court on Monday for a pre-trial hearing.

A shame he couldn't work through whatever he got caught up in.
