Later that day, Cornero was playing craps in the Desert Inn Casino. Suddenly, he fell to the floor and died.Rumors soon arose that someone had poisoned Cornero's drink. The rumors gained credence when Cornero's body was removed from the casino floor before anyone contacted the Clark County Coroner or the Clark County Sheriff's Department. Cornero's drinking glass was taken and washed; sheriff's deputies never had the chance to examine it. No autopsy was performed and a coroner's jury in Los Angeles determined that he died of a heart attack.The Aftermath Cornero was buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California. . |
