A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Kevin Lee Duncan accuses The Boathouse restaurant at Disney Springs in the Disney World resort of failing to summon emergency help promptly in June 2025, a delay that Duncan’s family lawyers contend cost the 42-year-old father his life after he began choking on a steak.
According to the legal complaint viewed by Law & Crime, Duncan was dining with family and friends at the popular waterfront eatery in Orlando on June 7, 2025, while in town for his daughter’s dance competition, when he began choking on a piece of steak. Family and friends attempted the Heimlich maneuver without success, the complaint states.
