Family of East Bay foster teen files wrongful death claim against caregivers

Family of East Bay foster teen files wrongful death claim against caregivers

A wrongful death claim filed Monday against Contra Costa County centers on missed opportunities to seek urgent medical help for a clearly impaired teen in foster care: The night before he was found dead in his bed at an Antioch foster home, 16-year-old Steven Unangst was "making choking sounds and thrashing in his bed," when his foster mother Dorothy Brown looked in on him at midnight, according to the claim.
