Parents sue over daughter’s death at hotel
Chicago schoolteacher died after sliding down railing at Palmer House Hilton
July 26, 2012
The parents of a Chicago schoolteacher who fell four stories to her death at the Palmer House Hilton have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, alleging the hotel and promoters of a Halloween party did not take enough security measures during the event almost two years ago.
In the suit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, James and Deborah Duskey alleged the hotel and Surreal Chicago and Adrenaline Y2K, the event promoters, didn’t hire enough security personnel and failed to warn their daughter, Megan, of the dangerous stairwell during the October 2010 party.
