Christensen, who had been the principal of Huntington Beach elementary schools for 22 years, took his own life Saturday.
The park had been open until midnight Saturday for the annual Candlelight Ceremony, which brings together hundreds of musicians, as well as Disney bigwigs, Theme Park Insider reported.
His death was two days before he was to appear in court on child endangerment and battery charges.
Police believe his death was a suicide, Anaheim police spokesperson Sgt. Shane Carringer told the Los Angeles Times, adding that the coroner’s office will determine the cause of death.
Christensen pleaded not guilty to the charges after his Nov. 15 arrest and was released on $10,000 bail. In a lengthy Facebook note, he blamed the “flawed” legal system for upending his life.
His attorney, Ruben Frias, declined to comment to the newspaper on Monday.

Why was he secretly married? Because it was convenient?
I’m Sympathetic to the courts bias but - this seems like a lot more under the hood than his word.
Maybe it was his Happy Place. I mean that seriously, I wasn't trying to sound snarky. If he was innocent, he really got back at his wife. I had a serious condition a few years ago, and was in constant pain. (All better now.) The doctors were not much help originally. I was giving serious thought to suicide, but did not because I did not want people to blame my wife.
From my understanding, some suicides are done with the primary reason, not necessarily being that the person could not stand living any longer. The primary reason for this select group would be to ‘punish’ specific surviving family or aquaintances. It’s a selfish, hostile and calculated move of someone deeply neurotic, someone who wants to inflict ongoing pain to all concerned.
This is how it appears here; he wants to ‘punish’ his wife for calling 911 and possibly screwing his career up. My take is this man was already spiritually brittle and already suffering from depression, even before he married into this ready made family.
**Why was their marriage supposed to be a secret, and after 3 years? Secret from whom?
Well, how many kids were actually attending an event at midnight on a Saturday? Sounds more like an event for adults. Not that it really makes him less inconsiderate though.
More here than meets the eye this guy knew he was going to get exposed in court.
A relative’s neighbor hung himself the day after Thanksgiving in his FRONT yard, in view of a fairly busy street. I think it was the easiest place for him to do it (largest tree on property right by the driveway - tied rope to tree/neck & jumped off the truck). He’d received a terminal medical diagnosis recently & wanted to go out on his own terms, evidently.
Only the dead know ‘why’ they pick a certain place .... some want the way they go out to send/leave a ‘message’, for some it’s the easiest way, others want a private, meaningful place. Regardless, it’s sad that people come to such a place where there is no hope, no future in their minds.
Amen.
Feels like he was punishing his wife, who looks like a typical SoCal lunatic fake-tan Kardashian-wannabe.
If he could find a way of hurting Disney without hurting anyone besides Disney I would be for it, and suspect he may have had a legitimate beef with the Mouse House-—but killing yourself is not the way to extract justice from others.
Zippidy do-dah, zippidy SPLAT!
**Facebook post was full of narcissism.**
Most FB posts are, imo. That’s why after I joined in 08 and made a couple comments, I didn’t log back in for over 8 years. Then some family and friends talked me into putting some more pics on it. I probably don’t comment twice a year anymore, but my wife (who won’t join) uses my account to view FB marketplace to shop, and does that almost daily.
She wanted to add a friend’s wife that made a friend request, and apparently clicked an ‘add friends’ or something, and suddenly I was added over 50 ‘friends’. I told my wife that they are probably mad at me because I don’t reply to their stuff.
The legal process, especially the domestic violence laws, are devasting on innocent men.
Oddly, though, really abusers play the system like a fiddle.
Well, he died where his ideals are upheld and promoted. His splat fit right in.
Just one more reason that disney is no longer the happiest place on earth.......as it once was.
I appreciate your pain on that one. That could be a mitigating factor.
Disneyland costs a family a small fortune to go there, then you have to wait in line for an hour or more for the good rides. The food is also incredibly expensive.
Why bother? But the place is packed day and night, all year round. I don’t get it...
I call BS! She must have found out he was into kiddy porn or something like that for her to get that mad And he’s minimizing the situation and making himself out as the victim. You don’t kill yourself unless it involves deep shame or embarrassment.
That was my first thought.
Wife called the cops on him after a verbal argument and got him arrested. Evil....
