A civil court in Florida has ordered the wife of a prominent Tarpon Springs doctor to pay $200 million to his three children in a wrongful death lawsuit. The case stems from the death of the doctor over a decade ago. While no criminal charges were ever filed, the civil trial found the wife responsible for his death.
The doctor was found dead in the couple's mansion. Investigators initially suspected foul play, and the case remained open for years. The civil suit brought by the children sought to hold the wife accountable for their father's death. The jury's decision reflects their belief that she was responsible and that the children deserve compensation for their loss. The outcome of the civil case does not preclude the possibility of future criminal investigations.
