A wrongful-death lawsuit has been filed against Pacific Gas & Electric Co. by the parents of Jessica Morales, one of eight people who died in the inferno from the San Bruno gas pipeline explosion. The wrongful-death lawsuit alleges that there has been “a long list of PG&E incidents and safety lapses.” The Complaint criticizes the utility for its “sluggish” response to the September 9^th incident and alleges that the pipeline was overpressurized at the time of the explosion and that PG&E failed to maintain or properly inspect the pipe or install automatic or remote shutoff valves.

In spite of this, Bryce was given the go ahead to play sports, even though his condition could be life threatening. Dr. Paige failed to notify Bryce’s parents of the condition as well.

The doctor sent a letter in July of 2006 to the parents stating that their son was fit to play sports. Nowhere in the letter does it mention that he had found thickening of the heart muscle.

The incident happened on March 16, 2009 when Bryce was playing a recreational soccer game. He collapsed during the game and was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. He died from the thickening of his heart muscle.
