Los Angeles: Bill Paxton’s family is suing Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the wrongful death of the actor.
The family alleges that Paxton’s doctor recommended an unconventional surgery without explaining the risks. The actor, 61, died of a stroke nearly one year ago following a heart surgery for aortic aneurysm repair.
The family filed a complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday against Cedars-Sinai and Dr Ali Khoynezhad.
