The parade started about five minutes late. A man died of a heart attack at a restaurant nearby. A woman in the procession fell off her horse and broke her ankle.
Beyond that, it’s been a fairly normal Gasparilla, said Tampa police Lt. Jack Diaz.
“Nothing out of the ordinary for a Gasparilla, yet,” Diaz said. “We’ve got a long way to go.”
Diaz said the death happened about 10:30 a.m. and involved a 73-year-old man who had a heart attack while at Jackson’s restaurant on Harbor Island. He had no further details.
The woman who fell from the horse on Bayshore was with a group attending the event on horseback.
She was taken to a hospital.
Four people had been arrested as of 2:30 p.m., most for disorderly conduct, Diaz said.
“I think in year’s past, by the end of the night, we’re up to around 20.”

Ohh, yeah right....a little confused what our “wasted” anchor has do to with a man dying of a heart attack and a woman falling off her own horse?
Oh I get it, he must have heart attack when he saw her wasted and it must have had the same effect on the lady, because it made her fall off her horse...right....
