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 Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking approval of the $1 million 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.
The “Twister” actor initially underwent a procedure to repair a damaged valve on on Feb. 14, 2017. The following day, he received another emergency surgery to repair a damaged coronary artery, but his health continued to decline.
