A well-known private investigator whose clients included celebrities and presidents has died from injuries sustained during an attempted robbery.
Jack Palladino, 76, hit his head after a struggle with two alleged robbers who tried to grab his camera outside his home in San Francisco last week.
The camera held images that led to the arrest of two suspects, police said.
Palladino was in a coma and died on Monday after he was taken off life support.
In a career spanning decades, the private eye worked on an array of high-profile and controversial cases, ranging from sex scandals to murder allegations.
