A renowned San Francisco private investigator’s final case was inadvertently helping police find the suspects in a crime outside his own home.
Two men were arrested on Sunday in connection with an attempted robbery that left Jack Palladino, 76, in critical condition leading to his death Monday, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Police made the arrests after recovering photographs from a camera the suspects unsuccessfully tried to steal from Palladino as he stood outside his house on San Francisco’s Page Street. The veteran PI fell and sustained head injuries, according to his wife and fellow investigator, Sandra Sutherland.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Jack Palladino, the flamboyant private investigator whose clients ranged from presidents and corporate whistleblowers to scandal-plagued celebrities, Hollywood moguls and sometimes suspected drug traffickers, died Monday at age 76.
Palladino suffered a devastating brain injury Thursday after a pair of would-be robbers tried to grab his camera outside his home in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district.
He held on to the camera but fell and struck his head, and the photos he took before his attackers fled were used by police to track down two suspects. They were charged with assault with a deadly weapon and other crimes.

Jack Palladino, an aggressive private eye whose high-profile clients included Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein, died Monday after sustaining injuries last week in a squabble outside his San Francisco home. He was 76.
Palladino had been placed on life support after two men attempted to rob him on Thursday afternoon in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
He appeared to assist in solving the crime: photographs snapped by his camera captured the suspects’ car and license plate, according to the the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office.
“He would have loved knowing that,” Sandra Sutherland, his wife, told The Associated Press on Monday.
