Man Drowns After Driving into Sea Near Biloxi Casino

A tragic accident occurred in Mississippi recently when a man inadvertently drove his car off a pier adjacent to a casino in Biloxi, resulting in his untimely death by drowning. The incident unfolded on a Sunday evening just before 9 pm, as first responders were dispatched to the Biloxi Fishing Pier, close to the Palace Casino Resort. Despite their swift arrival, they were unable to save the man, identified as 67-year-old Paul Costello from Milton, Florida.

Investigations suggest that the pier, which extends 5,000 feet into the Biloxi Bay and features two narrow lanes and a turnaround spot, may have been mistaken for a bridge by Costello. He had just dropped off his family at the casino and was likely looking for parking when he drove off the pier. The car was submerged in eight feet of water and was extracted using a tow truck equipped with a crane. With no clear medical conditions or signs of distress reported by his family, it seems probable that an accidental misjudgment led to this fatal event. The lack of evident warning signs, aside from a 10 mph speed limit, likely contributed to the confusion.
