Health Paid Neil Armstrong's Family $6M Settlement After his Death |
|
The
Cincinnati Enquirer learned that for two years after Neil Armstrongâ??s death,
his two sons threatened a wrongful-death suit against Mercy Health, the
largest hospital system in Ohio. They accused the Fairfield hospital of
causing a heart complication and triggering a series of grave medical errors.
Ultimately, in an agreement filed with Hamilton County Probate Court in
September 2014, the hospital system said it did nothing wrong but agreed to
pay the Armstrong family $6 million.
