In Niagara Falls NY a security officer at the Seneca Niagara Casino went into cardiac arrest and died early Saturday after subduing a man who had reportedly assaulted a female patron inside the casino’s Stir nightclub.
Niagara Falls police said the suspect tried to flee the area after punching the woman in the throat shortly before 3 a.m., but he was caught by Thomas Dardes, who was working security.
Dardes wrestled with the man briefly. After the suspect was detained, Dardes was out-of-breath and looked pale, casino employees told police. He went to a room to lie down and then went into cardiac arrest, according to police.
He was pronounced dead a short time later at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.
There were also three other security officers shot between Friday evening and early Monday morning.
All had non-life-threatening injuries.
