Bill Eskew died in March 2017, aged 65, after suffering from lung cancer. His insurers rejected a claim for proton beam therapy recommended by a doctor.

The 65-year-old undertook intensity-modulated radiation therapy, which caused severe damage to his esophagus.

After his death, his family won an initial $40million, then another $160million ordered by a civil jury.
