Investigators Release Sun Cruz Casino Death Autopsy

By Paul Black on April 8, 2008  Email it!    Print Version

Play Slots at Rushmore Casino! PORT CANAVERAL, FL -- According to published reports out this evening, Florida investigators have released the autopsy of a 49-year old man who was found dead in a bathroom aboard  a Sun Cruz Casino ship based in Port Canaveral, Florida.

Over the weekend,  the Sun Cruz gambling ship was headed back into port when a passenger informed crew-members that he had found a dead body in the bathroom.  Initial reports by local media speculated of a possible murder on the high-seas.

The man found was James Burgess, who was discovered on-the-ground bleeding in a restroom facility aboard the ship. Paramedics immediately tried to recesitate the man, but he was pronounced dead-on-arrival at a local Space Coast hospital.

The suspicious death drew an enormous amount of media attention, but today's release of the autopsy shows a different picture.  It appears the man actually died of natural causes while onboard.  Investigators are expected to proclaim the death not the result of foul-play.

The Sun Cruz casino ship in Port Canaveral has over 600 slot machines and 35 gaming tables,  enough space to entertain over 1,000 passengers.
