An elderly man died after he was robbed at Greektown Casino and followed the suspect to reclaim his winnings Wednesday afternoon, police said this morning. The 91-year-old, mad that a man had snatched his $240 prize ticket, trailed the 56-year-old outside and pointed him out to a police officer, who arrested the suspect, Detroit Police Department spokesman John Roach said today. Then, the older man collapsed and was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
You charge this thief with murder, right? If you leave this guy to himself, no way he dies, but get his blood boiling by snatching his $240 prize ticket and boom! You got an old dead guy on your hands. Just another classic Detroit homicide. At least this one is solved.
PS - What a day for this guy. First he hits it big and is up $240 and then he gets jacked up by some dude on a motorized cart. That's a lethal cocktail of excitement for such an old dude.
PSS - Saw this "Shipwrecks of the Great Lakes" sweatshirt when I was at the MGM a few months back. I almost offered him the Boss Bailey jersey off my back for it.
