Judge Hatchett Blames Cedars-Sinai For Daughter-In-Law’s Death

TV judge Glenda Hatchett’s son is suing the hospital where his wife passed away 12 hours after she delivered a healthy baby boy via C-section.In court documents filed March 22 and obtained by PEOPLE, Charles Johnson IV is suing Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for wrongful death and negligent infliction of emotional distress following the death of his “healthy, vibrant, fun, loving wife,” Kyira Adele Dixon.According to the autopsy, Kyira’s cause of death was “due to hemorrhagic shock due to acute hemoperitoneum.” The lawsuit claimed the doctors did not properly respond to her symptoms and did not treat her bleeding in a timely matter.  "The tragic death of this magnificent young woman who had become my daughter was absolutely so unnecessary,” Judge Hatchett said outside the hospital. “The complaint speaks for itself and I trust this lawsuit will spare other families the enormous pain that we are suffering.”
