The wife of a deceased middle school teacher has filed a lawsuit against her husband’s physician, claiming that he failed to properly treat her late husband for hypertension.

Her husband, 50, died last January of cardiac arrest during a school ski trip. After his death, an analysis of his heart revealed that there was 95 percent blockage in one of his major arteries. According to the lawsuit, the prosecution accuses the man’s physician and the health clinic of failing to properly evaluate the man.

The suit states that the doctor’s negligence was a major factor in the man’s death and affected his chances of survival following a heart attack.
