Nope. Probably COULD have gotten some kind of settlement (I was executor) BUT i was already being sued for $10's of millions of dollars over my patents (3) at the time, by former employer. I thought about it, but ultimately let it slide. THEY DID claim he had "diverticulitis" (weak spot in his colon, a KNOWN risk) beforehand, i would've HAD to investigate (using courts) FURTHER with MUCH effort on my part. But they ALSO, REMOVED his colon (claimed cancerous)...NO EVIDENCE soon after he checked in with the septicemia (and died 3 months later).
