Thanks to all who visited. There were actually a few people who got the answer. Pat McBride got it almost immediately, though he acknowledged his recent trip to Las Vegas may have helped. A.D. Hampton got it too -- also without any clues. Ken Herr got it after calling a meeting at his office (all right, maybe it wasn't that dramatic, but he had help).
The sought-after answer was this: The man was killed after being discovered cheating at cards -- specifically, using Bicycle brand cards. (That's why that word was capitalized.) The other clue that more people seemed to pick up on was that there were 53 of them -- one more than a standard deck, not counting jokers.
Pat wanted a cookie for getting it right, but to my knowledge, this Web log doesn't give you cookies. I could be wrong.
Again, thanks for checking it out. I think I'll have to try dispensing brain twisters more in the future.
