Bee Gees Death possible medical malpractice?

The surviving members of the Bee Gees are criticizing doctors' treatment of their brother Maurice Gibb, who died after emergency surgery.
Robin and Barry Gibb questioned the decision by doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center to go ahead with the operation after Maurice had suffered cardiac arrest.
Maurice, 53, entered the hospital for emergency surgery to correct an intestinal blockage. "We believe mistakes were made and time was wasted," Robin Gibb, Maurice's twin, told the British Broadcasting Corp..
"Protocol was not followed. Someone is responsible for the death," Barry Gibb told the BBC.
On Monday, Dorkowski said she could not comment on the brothers' allegations because of patient privacy laws.
Under Florida law, health officials can disclose information about investigations of doctors and hospitals only if state boards find complaints against them are justified. That process can take weeks.

The Bee Gees, short for the Brothers Gibb -- Maurice, Robin and older brother Barry -- were a falsetto-voiced disco sensation during the 1970s, with a slew of hits from the movie "Saturday Night Fever," including "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever."
Maurice Gibb, a recovering alcoholic, played bass and keyboard for the band.
