[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Twister star Bill Paxton , 61, died of a stroke on February 25 just 11 days after undergoing heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center

  • His wife and children are suing the hospital for punitive damages, claiming its surgeon performed 'an overly aggressive surgery that he was not trained for'

  • The lawsuit also claims that Cedars lied to the actor's family about its intentions of conducting an autopsy

  • Paxton's family said the health center neglected to do so because it sought to 'could conceal their role in causing the death of Mr. Paxton'

  • It's not clear how much the family seeks in the Los Angeles Superior Court suit
