"The chef who was assigned to their table starts tossing food," said lawyer Andre Ferenzo, who represents Colaitis' widow, Jacqueline.

"He tosses a piece of shrimp, and it hits one of the children. They tell him to stop, he doesn't. He does it a second time, and it strikes the brother-in-law."

Fearing for their safety, Ferenzo said, Colaitis who lived in Old Brookville, and his family asked the chef to stop throwing shrimp because it was hot.

The chef smiled, then tossed a third piece at Colaitis, who hurt his neck trying to avoid the flying crustacean, Ferenzo said.

IMHO it's still a dumb case - a piece of hot shrimp in the face might give you a slight burn. And it wasn't the neck injury itself that killed him. Wonder if the hospital is being sued? And you know this will be the Repugs newest "McDonald's hot coffee" case.

I love the NY Daily News Title - The flying shrimp
of death suit
