Cindy Frey, the widow of The Eagles' guitarist Glenn Frey, has filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful death against Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, according to a Reuters report.
The singer/songwriter, who provided lead vocals on hits like "Take It Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling," was 67 when he died in January 2016.
Glenn Frey had ulcerative colitis, and Cindy Frey is accusing the hospital of negligence in its diagnosis and treatment of Frey from October to November of 2015. Frey's illness was compounded by pneumonia and rheumatoid arthritis.
New York imposes a two-year statute of limitations for wrongful death cases;
Cindy Frey filed the suit shortly before the two-year statute of limitations the state of New York imposes on wrongful death cases was set to expire, Reuters said. The damages it seeks were not specified.
In addition to his work with The Eagles, Glenn Frey enjoyed a successful solo career, recording classic rock staples such as "Smuggler's Blues" and "You Belong to the City."
