Jeremy Jones died July 6, 2020, of a rupture to his aorta, the artery that carries blood away from the heart.

The suit claims the defendants are guilty of failure to diagnose and treat the problem and failed to admit him to the hospital.

The suit states Jones’ heirs, son, Michael Jones Jr., and daughter Jamiyah Monae Jones, have suffered financial damages as a result of their father’s death. The hospital administration had no immediate comment.

The estate is represented by Michael F. Sullivan of Chicago.
