Sean Levert's Widow Files Wrongful Death Suit

by Gossip

The widow of R&B singer Sean Levert has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county officials who were holding him in jail when he fell ill.

Levert, a member of the 1980s R&B trio LeVert and son of lead O'Jays singer Eddie Levert, died March 30th shortly after he was taken to a hospital.

His widow, Angela Lowe, filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court in Cleveland that accuses his jailers of showing disregard for his medical needs. Lowe and Levert's estate are seeking unspecified damages.

A message seeking comment was left for Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason.

The county coroner has ruled that Levert, 39, died of natural causes.

Levert had just started serving a 22-month sentence for failure to pay child support.
