Man kills himself after casino withdraws lifetime free buffet access

A man shot himself dead at a casino buffet after it revoked his lifetime supply of free meals.
John Noble was left devastated when the M Resort and Spa Casino, near Las Vegas, banned him from the premises for hitting on female employees.

The 53-year-old, who suffered from mental illness, compiled a 270-page testimony and recorded a two-hour DVD detailing his struggles after he was banished from the buffet in Henderson, Nevada.

The package was sent to reporters at the Las Vegas Review-Journal and arrived a day after his suicide on Easter Sunday.

At 4.50pm security staff were called to deal with a fire in the casino's car park before gunshots were heard inside, Henderson Police said.


Officers then found Mr Noble inside with a single self-inflicted gunshot to the head.

He had been given the free food privileges in 2010 after being named an M 'biggest winner' but the voucher was revoked three years later.

He embarked on a relentless online campaign to have his voucher reinstated, threatening to commit suicide on Easter Sunday in 2013 and even stalking a casino employee.

Casino managers banned him from the premises three weeks before the shooting, at which time he spent three days in a state psychiatric ward, the New York Daily News reports.

Upon his release, Noble continued his crusade, taking to Facebook to share M workers' personal information and complain about his plight, his still-existing profile shows.

"Nobody will help me," Noble says in a portion of the DVD that the newspaper posted.

"You've got to fight for what you believe in, and I believe I was unjustifiably kicked out."

"That's the trouble — people do not get involved," he says in the video.

"That's why this world is so screwed up.

"Have a little decency, people.

"Some people are reaching out for help and they don't get it."

The M Casino has declined to comment on the shooting but vice president of marketing Scotty Rutledge confirmed staff were undergoing grief counselling.
