August 21, 2009 - A 28-year-old West Bloomfield man committed suicide by jumping from the parking garage of the Greektown Casino garage this morning, according to police. West Bloomfield Police identified the man this morning as Michael Robert Gartner. Gartner's body was discovered at 8:20 a.m. by a city parking attendant in between two cars parked along Macomb Street, Detroit Police spokesman John Roach said. Known to gamble at the casino, Gartner sent his parents e-mails and text messages this morning, despondent over being out of work for a while, West Bloomfield Police Lt. Tim Diamond said. They called police at about the same time his body was found. "A short time later, that’s when the meter maid made the discovery," Roach said.
