Part 5/7:
The connection between the two families is rooted in the death of their shared father, who passed away in 2018 due to an undiagnosed aortic aneurysm. Following his death, the Browns and their mother filed a malpractice lawsuit against the hospital responsible for his care. This suit resulted in a substantial settlement of $28.8 million.
Significantly, this judgment was handed down just one month after Thomas had reached out, adding a layer of controversy and suspicion to the unfolding story. The timing raised questions about whether the settlement influenced Thomas's subsequent legal actions.
