Yesterday, May 10, 2017, TV Judge Glenda Hatchett and her son Charles S. Johnson IV held a press conference to announce that they had filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Arjang Naim, M.D., Benham Kashanchi, M.D., Kathryn Sharma, M.D., Sara Churchill, M.D., Stuart Martin, M.D., and others, for the wrongful death of 39-year-old mother and wife, Kyira Adele Dixon Johnson. The lawsuit was filed on March 22, 2017, in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
The plaintiffs filed a Complaint seeking damages for wrongful death and negligent infliction of emotional distress, stating that Kyira’s death was a result of the defendants’ failure to properly and timely respond to her symptoms, and adequately treat her.
Mother-in-law Judge Glenda Hatchett says in a press statement, “The tragic death of this magnificent young woman who had become my daughter was absolutely so unnecessary. The Complaint speaks for itself and I trust this lawsuit will spare other families the enormous pain that we are suffering.”
Charles is deeply committed to continuing to be a fully devoted single father to his two young sons who will now never have the love and support of their mother.
