The family of a Canadian man who died following a tragic poolside incident at a Las Vegas Strip casino resort has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging negligence and inadequate safety measures led to his untimely passing.

Paul Nakashima, 60, was in Las Vegas celebrating his birthday with his family on June 15, 2023, when he slipped on the steps of the Court Pool at the Excalibur casino-hotel, struck his head in shallow water and became unresponsive. According to the lawsuit, Excalibur lifeguards and pool staff failed to take immediate and proper action, contributing to Nakashima’s death the following day.
