Family of Actor Bill Paxton Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Although the late actor Bill Paxton, known for memorable roles in movies like Titanic and Aliens, passed away over five years ago, his family has only now settled their lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The Paxton family filed a wrongful death lawsuit over four years ago. The suit alleged that the hospital and Paxton’s attending Dr. Ali Khoynezhad, acted “negligently, carelessly, recklessly and unskillfully,” performing an “unconventional” surgery that added unnecessary post-surgical risks, according to Deadline.

11 days after Paxton had heart surgery to repair damage to his aorta and replace a heart valve, he had a fatal stroke on Feb. 25, 2017. The actor was 61 years old.
