  He didn't, but even if he did, it wouldn't make any difference.

  It wasn't the fault of the relatives of the deceased that an accident
happened. Why would it?

  If someone accidentally falls off a cliff and smashes your car, are you
going to sue his relatives to pay up for the repairs? No, it was an
accident. The relatives are in no way responsible for anything.

  Completely inconsequential. They could be a hundred billion of dollars,
and it would make no difference.

  Blame the healtcare system of the US.
