The parents of a 19-year-old man who died after a snowboarding accident settled with the hospital and organ donation center that they claimed were responsible for his early death for $1.2 million. Michael and Teresa Jacobs alleged that their son had been "intentionally killed at Hamot Hospital so that his organs could be harvested," according to their complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

The defendants "vigorously" denied the allegations, according to court papers.
