11 days...[edit]

I don't think it's an important fact to include that he "...died just nine days after his 34th birthday on June 11." Why is this oimportnat. Everybody will die some number of days after a birthday. Chaheel Riens (talk) 21:32, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: add that the lawsuit the parents of Hartwell brought against Dunn's estate failed[edit]

I found it unsatisfying that the 'Death' section ends with a lawsuit filed in 2012, with no outcome. According to the decision linked below, the Hartwell's filed a lawsuit against both the Dunn estate and the bar that the two had been drinking at before the accident. Both defendants filed preliminary objections that were sustained by the court (i.e. sorry Hartwell's, nope). The Hartwell's filed an appeal in the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, which affirmed the original decision (i.e. sorry again Hartwell's). I can't find a link to the original trial court decision. See appeal decision here: https://cases.justia.com/pennsylvania/superior-court/2014-25-eda-2013.pdf?ts=1419278517 Note: I tend to not edit Wikipedia pages because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm always afraid I'm breaking some technical rule of Wikipedia. You guys are as confusing as the legal industry. I just make suggestions and leave it to the experts.

Also big props to the entire online media for never following up on the original story [sarcasm intended]. 103.100.225.79 (talk) 13:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The preliminary objections were about properness of venue. The defendants objected to the Hartwells' choice to file in Philadelphia County and instead requested a change of venue to Chester County. The appellate court upheld the preliminary objections and so the change of venue was granted.

Whatever happened afterwards (dismissal? trial? settlement?) is, of course, not mentioned as it hadn't happened yet nor was it the subject of the Hartwells' appeal.

I don't get how you could possibly read anything contained in the decision as "the lawsuit failed". Preliminary objections are filed before the trial even actually starts. I'd hazard the guess that that's why they're called "preliminary". 82.83.91.148 (talk) 02:08, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commas after MDY dates[edit]

@FMSky: Per MOS:DATES, "A comma follows the year unless other punctuation obviates it: The weather on March 12, 2005, was clear and warm." This is the style that Wikipedia uses. You don't have to like it, but you have to leave it alone. Chris the speller ^yack 23:20, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
