A recent lawsuit revealed that a jury has awarded $2 million to the estate of a man who tragically passed away after sustaining severe burns from scalding water in a Kentucky motel shower. The incident occurred at the Econo Lodge in Erlanger, Kentucky, where 76-year-old Alex Chronis suffered third-degree burns during a shower, leading to his untimely death on June 19, 2022.
According to the complaint filed by Chronis' niece, on November 19, 2021, Chronis was overwhelmed by scalding hot water as soon as he entered the shower, causing him to fall to the floor where he continued to be scalded. Hearing his distress, two associates rushed to his aid.
