JUDGE THROWS OUT TYLO LAWSUIT
LATEST: A Las Vegas judge has dismissed a wrongful death lawsuit filed by U.S.
soap opera star HUNTER TYLO against a therapist who counselled her late teenage son.
The Bold & The Beautiful actress was devastated when Michael Tylo Jr., 19, drowned in a swimming pool accident following an apparent seizure at the family home in Henderson, Nevada, on 18 October (07).
And in January (08) Tylo launched a malpractice lawsuit against Nevada-based social worker Shanna Downing claiming she misdiagnosed the teenager’s disorder as "stress-related" and implanted "false memories".
Tylo then changed this to a wrongful death suit but failed to respond to a 11 February (08) deadline to a motion set by Downing, with the judge deciding to throw out the case.
However, the malpractice lawsuit against Downing remains and is due to start this autumn (08).
