Jury Awards $2.5 Million to the Family of a Washington State Man in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Patrick Coyne and his wife had planned on picking up a motorcycle helmet in Portland, Oregon, as a Father’s Day gift from his family the day he was found unresponsive in his living room, according to a wrongful death lawsuit.
The 39-year-old father of three sat in his recliner to watch TV at his Castle Rock, Washington, home the night before they were to leave. The next morning, Sybil Coyne discovered him still in the chair — and thought he was sleeping — before realizing he wasn’t breathing, the lawsuit filed in the state says.
First responders’ attempts to revive Patrick Coyne proved unsuccessful on June 28, 2020, when he was pronounced dead, according to a complaint filed in December 2020.
