Five years after his sudden passing, the family of actor Bill Paxton has reached a settlement with an anesthesiologist medical group named in a lawsuit filed in connection with his death.
Attorneys for the General Anesthesia Specialists Partnership filed documents on Feb 23 in Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking approval of the US$1mil (RM4.1mil) settlement. The agency was involved in Paxton’s heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, just two weeks before his death on Feb 25, 2017, at age 61.
