Margaret Fonda, the widow of the late Peter Fonda, is suing the Providence Saint Joseph’s Health Center in Santa Monica following her husband’s death from lung cancer in August 2019. The lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ, sees Fonda claim the hospital did not take the proper precautions when it came to diagnosing and treating his cancer.

At the time of his death, the “Easy Rider” actor was 79. His wife notes that proper tests were not administered and it was recommended he sees other specialists. Among other things, Fonda believes the center did not also properly advise him on more frequent follow-ups. The TMZ article shared that the medical facility declined to comment on the lawsuit. When the actor passed away, his family was heartbroken at the news with his older sister, Jane Fonda, telling TMZ she was “very sad” to learn of her brother’s passing.

She referred to him as the “talker of the family” and that even in his final days, “he went out laughing.” A joint statement issued by the family called it “one of the saddest moments of our lives.”
