The widow of a 42-year-old lawyer who went into cardiac arrest and died at the Gloucester County courthouse is suing the county, alleging negligence by first responders was the cause of death.

According to the complaint in Vasquez v. Gloucester County, 13-cv-4146, Peter Fiorentino Jr. was in a second-floor conference room with other lawyers on July 7, 2011, when his heart stopped beating.
