‘Deadliest Catch’ Star’s Family Suing Over Tragic Death

A family is about to drop a bombshell lawsuit over the death of ‘Deadliest Catch’ star Todd Meadows, the 25-year-old who fell overboard and died back in February while working on a fishing boat. Now his family’s lawyer is gearing up to file a wrongful death suit — and honestly, we’re dying to know what they’re alleging went wrong out there on the water.

Meadows left behind three young sons when he died, which makes this case even more heartbreaking. The specifics of what led to his fall overboard haven’t been fully detailed, but clearly his family believes someone or something is to blame — otherwise, why lawyer up?

The fishing industry is notoriously dangerous, but that doesn’t mean negligence gets a pass. We’ll be watching to see what the lawsuit reveals about what actually happened that day.
