Man Jumps from Connecticut Casino Hotel Room

CONNECTICUT – As reported by the Connecticut Day: "A 27-year-old Wethersfield man jumped to his death from the 28th floor of the Mohegan Sun hotel Tuesday afternoon after smashing a room's window with bricks.

"The man had lost $600 over the course of eight visits to the casino, according to a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
