Ned Day

Ned Day (April 5, 1945-September 3, 1987) was a Las Vegas television journalist who was known for taking on mobsters who dominated Las Vegas casinos in the 1970s and '80s.^[1]

Ned moved to Las Vegas in the mid 1970s and worked as a reporter for the now-defunct North Las Vegas Valley Times newspaper. He later wrote columns for the Las Vegas Review-Journal. In the late 1970s he became the managing editor and a reporter for KLAS-TV.

In 1986 Ned's car was torched (he wasn't in it, only his precious golf clubs). Ned reportedly described it as, "the happiest day in my life, when the mob firebombed my car."

On September 3, 1987, Ned died on vacation while snorkeling in Hawaii. The coroner's office ruled it a natural death from a heart attack.
