On April 6, while playing blackjack with friends at the hotel casino, his hands 'began convulsing' shortly before he 'collapsed and became slumped over on the blackjack table with his head down,' McClatchy news reported. Jagolinzer, a trial lawyer from Miami, Florida, visited Nevada in April for a conference and stayed at the Wynn Resorts luxury hotel.
