Eddie Money was a singer best known for songs such as “Take Me Home Tonight.” He sadly died in September 2019 after battling stage 4 esophageal cancer. He was 70 years old. Now, his estate is filing a lawsuit claiming medical negligence and wrongful death.
The lawsuit is against USC’s Keck Hospital including doctors Mark Cunningham, Leonard Clavijo, and John Anderson-Dam. His estate, which likely includes his wife Laurie and five children, claim that he didn’t get proper treatment when he went in for cardiac issues. They also claim he caught pneumonia in the hospital which could have been part of his death.
