CLEVELAND — The widow of R&B singer Sean Levert has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the 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 March 30 shortly after he was taken to a hospital.
His widow, Angela Lowe, filed a lawsuit 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.
The county coroner has ruled that Levert, 39, died of natural causes.
Levert had just started serving a 22-month sentence for failure to pay child support.
