Woman Drowns In Casino Hot Tub

Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove says a woman found dead in a hotel room at the Hard Rock Biloxi fell asleep in a hot tub and drowned.

Her death was ruled accidental and her name was not released.

Hargrove tells The Sun Herald authorities were called to the Hard Rock Wednesday at 7:22 a.m. The police department sent criminal investigators, but the information they gathered and the results of an autopsy indicate the death was unintentional.

The coroner said he was not releasing the victim’s name because she died in the privacy of a hotel room.
