A device left on the top of a car in a casino parking garage exploded Monday, killing a man who tried to pick it up, authorities said.
The blast shortly after 4 a.m. on the second floor of a garage behind the Luxor hotel-casino was not considered a terrorist act, police said.
The unidentified victim, who was pronounced dead at a hospital, worked at a business in the hotel, police said, adding that the case is being investigated as “a homicide with an unusual weapon.” A police spokesman declined to describe the device.
