Update: Levert Widow Files Wrongful Death Suit

The widow of R&B singer Sean Levert has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against 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 on March 30th shortly after he was taken to a hospital.

His widow, Angela Lowe, filed a lawsuit on 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.

As previously reported on Singersroom, the county coroner ruled earlier this week that Levert, 39, died of natural causes.
