SAFETY HARBOR - The former property manager at BayWalk, St. Petersburg's downtown entertainment and retail complex, killed himself Wednesday, authorities say.

Howard S. Rosenthal, 53, was found at Philippe Park on Wednesday morning with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.

Rosenthal, 53, of 527 Harbor Groves Circle, Safety Harbor, was found in a park shelter just before 8 a.m., about a mile from his home, the sheriff's office said.

He was arrested in January on a count of grand theft in connection with activities as manager of Colliers Arnold in Clearwater, a real estate and property management company. He stole about $170,000 from the company for personal use, the sheriff's office has said.
Investigators said Rosenthal double-billed invoices, diverting money to his accounts. He resigned from Colliers Arnold in August and formed his own company.
Rosenthal was released from jail after posting $50,000 bail.
