BAY CITY — A settlement of a half million dollars has been reached in a wrongful death lawsuit of Marvin E. Schur, a Bay City man who froze to death in his home in 2009.

Schur’s family filed the suit against Bay City and Bay City Electric Light & Power in October 2009. Schur, a 93-year-old World War II veteran, was found dead in his home at 1600 S. Chilson St. on Jan. 17, 2009. Autopsy results indicated he froze to death.

The city had turned off Schur’s electricity due to unpaid bills.
