'Our staff did everything they possibly could,' said Sarris, 'and they talked him away from the ledge and down, but obviously things didn't go so well once the sheriff got here.' Security followed as he made his way to the parking structure, where he told them he wanted to kill himself. He came to the casino alone and on foot, didn't gamble, eat, or talk to anyone, just walked around the gaming floor. 'We watched him, he walked around, he didn't touch anything, he didn't bother anybody, ' said Sarris, describing how casino security kept an eye on Bertagnolli for about an hour after he arrived. Bertagnolli was newly married, with ties to Napa, but recently living in Nevada.
