Long v. Fowler

Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants in the estate's wrongful-death negligence action because the undisputed evidence showed that the decedent's injury resulted from an unforeseeable sequence of events and therefore was not proximately caused by defendants' conduct. The Court held that the record did not create a genuine issue of material fact concerning foreseeability. It declined to review contributory negligence because that issue was an alternative ground for affirmance.
