In the entry Cause of Death? The Tragic Case of Brittany Murphy, I wondered if her husband had spoken with competent legal counsel before he threatened to bring a wrongful death suit against Warner Bros. because it had cancelled Ms. Murphy's employment contract.
Another ill advised wrongful death suit made the news [AP] recently, when a man actually sued the IRS for his wife's suicide, three days after agents raided their home in Indiana. She was 50 years old, and the mother of six. She left a note saying she could not "live in terror of being accused of things I did not do."
Was there a "wrongful act, neglect or default" on the part of the IRS which caused the woman's death? Based on these facts, it would not seem so...
