Suing the body of man dead for 23 years? What could they get?

I know, it's the headline - it's awful.

It’s the hospital that is the defendant.

The Hospital is responsible?
Where were the parents?

I hate bad journalism. Headline offenders are the worst.

Reardon died in 1988

Did he stay alive long enough for a criminal trial?

It seems as though the plaintiff has a case only if the plaintiff can prove someone on the hospital staff, other than Reardon, knew the sexual abuse was occurring.

Two interesting questions are, would it be an effective legal strategy for the hospital to file a law suit against the parents for not telling the hospital given St. Francis's contention they didn't know because the parents didn't tell the hospital? Don't the parents have at least some culpability?
