From Fox News:
The family of a Texas father of four is suing after the man was allegedly “fatally crushed by the preventable falling” of a “diseased” pecan tree while he was eating at a BBQ restaurant.
Kirk Foyle, 64, died after a May 19 when a tree fell on him at Green Mesquite BBQ in Austin, according to the lawsuit, Fox 7 reported. The tree was hanging over an outdoor patio area where Foyle was eating as storms moved through the area. The tree, which is referred to in the complaint as a “Widow Maker,” was located at 1410 Barton Springs Rd, but parts of the tree extended into Green Mesquite’s outdoor patio area, where Foyle was seated, according to the outlet.
