William Martinez, 31, died while having a 3-way with a male friend of his and a woman.

Atlanta, GA – What do you do when you find out your husband died while having an unathorized threesome without you? Easy, you sue his doctor for negligence..  Sounds like a bad joke right… It’s not.

William Martinez, 31, died during a menage-a-trois with his male friend and a woman in an Atlanta airport motel back in 2009.  He suffered from atheroschlerotic coronary artery disease and was not advised by his physician, Dr. Sreenivasulu Gangasani to avoid “strenuous” activities.  So, the wife, collected her nerve, along with the rest of the Martinez family, and managed to win a lawsuit against his faulty doctor.

On Friday, the courts agreed that Martinez’ doctor was definitely at fault for not properly treating his condition, so he would be properly prepared for a 3-way sex act that didn’t include his wife.  Now Martinez’ wife will benefit from his infidelity and poor health.

The jury found that Dr. Sreenivasulu Gangasani and the Cardiovascular Group were 60% to blame for Martinez’s death from atheroschlerotic coronary artery disease, agreeing with the plaintiff that the doctor did not properly diagnose and treat Martinez for high blood pressure, chest pains, shortness of breath and irregular heartbeat.

They also charged that Gangasani did not warn Martinez to avoid strenuous physical activity until more tests could be done.

“The type of sex that he was engaged in is the type that’s totally unacceptable to our community,” said Martinez family attorney Rod Edmond on Friday. “But the fact of the matter is this man could have died running on the treadmill, running after a criminal.”

Last week, a Gwinnett County jury agreed, finding Gangasani “negligent.” But their verdict form also found William Martinez 40% responsible for his own death.

That shared responsibility reduced the award to his widow from $5 million to $3 million, WXIA-TV reports.

Sounds like a wife’s bittersweet revenge. Her husband wasn’t alive for cheating, so somebody had to pay.

Listen to the Martinez attorneys as they release all of the treacherous details to the story provided by USA Today via WXIA-TV.
