Lawyers representing the family of 31-year-old William Martinez successfully argued that he had not been warned about the dangers of strenuous activity before a scheduled checkup.
Martinez, a married father of two from Georgia, died of a heart attack after engaging in a threesome with a male friend and a woman who was not his wife.
He had been suffering from chest pains the week before, and was due to undergo tests at the CardioVascular Group in Lawrenceville the day after the threesome took place.
Jurors initially awarded his estate $5 million but reduced it to $3m after finding Martinez 40 per cent liable for his own death.
Given that if Martinez had not died of a heart attack, he would have been chopped into thousands of tiny pieces by his irate wife, it seems as though this was the best outcome for all concerned.
