Settlement reached in death of bicyclist Jake Clough

According to the KCStar:
Children's Mercy Hospital and the family of a Kansas boy who died last year when a hospital feeding tube became dislodged in his abdomen have reached a settlement in a wrongful death case.

Neither side would reveal the details of the settlement.

Jake Clough, 15, of Fairway, Kan., was hospitalized in February 2005 after colliding with a truck on his bicycle in neighboring Prairie Village.

He emerged from a coma in mid-March at the University of Kansas Medical Center and was transferred to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, where he died a week later.
