The family of a worker killed in 2018 when a nearly 2,000-foot tall TV tower in southwest Missouri collapsed is suing Missouri State University for wrongful death.
The April 19, 2018, tower collapse happened in Fordland, killing 56-year-old Steve Lemay, who ran a tower repair company in Blaine, Washington. Missouri State University owned the tower and used it for its Ozarks Public Television station.
The lawsuit says the university maintained a “dangerous condition” on its property that led to Lemay’s death, the Springfield News-Leader reported. Lemay’s family is asking for an unspecified amount in damages that include Lemay’s pain and suffering as well as medical, funeral and burial expenses. The lawsuit also names a South Carolina tower repair company that hired Lemay’s company to complete the work.
A spokesperson for MSU told the News-Leader that the university does not comment on pending litigation.
