Attorneys for the estate of a Rhode Island man who climbed over a railing and fell from the 14th floor of a casino hotel balcony while drunk have filed a lawsuit in Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Court claiming the gaming facility was negligent.
Alonzo Depina, a guest at Foxwoods Resort Casino, accidentally fell from a ledge on his room's balcony in October 2016, according to James Harrington, attorney for the estate. The balcony had a railing with an unprotected ledge about a foot wide on the other side.
Harrington said police concluded that Depina climbed over the railing and was walking along the ledge when he accidentally fell.
