A retired chemist who waged a court fight to recover for benzene exposure died just days after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that his claim was time-barred. The death resulted from a rare form of leukemia that prompted the suit, relatives said. State courts hold a claim must be filed within two years from the last exposure to toxic chemicals. The man's attorney says there was no time when a claim could have been filed because the deadline passed in 1989 and the disease was not diagnosed until 1999.

A man who waged a court fight to blame a toxic chemical for his health problems died just days after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled he waited too long to sue, even though he didn’t know he was sick until after the deadline to sue had passed.
Jack Cline, who was 67, died last Wednesday of complications from a rare form of leukemia that had prompted his suit, family members said.
