Court dismisses lawsuit over woman’s death in Britney Spears hoax
An appeals court in New York has dismissed a multi-million dollar lawsuit brought by a man whose wife died during a radio station’s Britney Spears hoax.
WLVT reports that the woman died six years ago after falling and hitting her head outside a radio station in Binghamton, New York. She was part of a crowd who rushed after a limo they believed had singer Britney Spears inside. It was really a Spears impersonator.
Her husband sued the station’s owner, Clear Channel Broadcasting, alleging fraud and negligence. The state appellate court dismissed the case, saying the husband couldn’t prove the radio station’s stunt caused the events that led to to his wife’s death.
A pathologist ruled the mother of three died after her heart went out of rhythm as a result of the blow to her head. The woman’s ten-year-old daughter was with her when she fell.
