The death of an Oregon man in late August at the Hard Rock Hotel's Rehab pool was caused by a combination of drowning and ethanol intoxication, according to the Clark County Coroner's Office.
Ethanol, also known as grain alcohol, is contained in whiskey, vodka, gin and other liquors.
Officials said the county's fire department responded at 5:45 p.m. Aug. 22 to a report of a man with a head injury in the pool area of the Hard Rock, 4455 Paradise Road.
The man was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The coroner's office identified the man as Matthew Williams, 27, of Happy Valley, Ore.
The coroner ruled the man's death an accident.

What else is new for those losers from Oregon who come to Vegas to party way above their means. Chances are he was of-no-added-value to anyone anyway. If a duck quacks it can swim.

Typical male Mr. Macho that goes to Vegas. Deaths happen all the time. Some due to accident. Some due to mouthing off to the wrong person. Almost all due to intoxication, when it comes to visitors deaths. The Las Vegas Convention Bureau does it's best to hide how many deaths occur in Vegas.
