Daniel Tovar came to Stateline on a bus. He was thirty-one and from Pomona, Calif. He arrived on February 8, stepping off an Amtrak bus from Los Angeles—same state.
On Saturday afternoon, he fell from the roof of Harvey’s Lake Tahoe. The valet saw him hit the ground.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office got the call at 2:46 p.m. By 2:50, Tovar was dead.
The fall broke him.
There was no more to say. The wind kept moving through the pines.
The cars rolled in and out of the valet. The hotel stood as it always had, tall and indifferent.
