“We are saddened to learn that Bruce Deifik, former owner of Ocean Casino Resort, has passed away,” said Diane Spiers, a spokeswoman for the property, via email Monday. An official cause of death is pending a medical examination. The Denver Police Department confirmed a traffic fatality Sunday in which a motorist had an “apparent medical condition” and swerved over two lanes of traffic before crashing into a light pole. He was driving home from a Colorado Rockies baseball game in his hometown of Denver when he died in a car crash, his attorney Paul O’Gara said. The property failed to generate enough profits to satisfy investors, and Luxor Capital Group, which had financed a significant portion of Deifik’s original investment, assumed control of the resort last January.īruce Deifik, the Colorado property developer who ran Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino Resort for six months, died Sunday in Colorado.
Deifik and his company AC Ocean Walk LLC paid USD 229 million for Ocean Resort in January 2018. He was driving home Sunday from a Colorado Rockies baseball game in his hometown of Denver when he died in a car crash, in which a motorist was involved.
