Alleged rapist can be sued for wrongful death after former Alabama student kills herself

Justice Mitchell
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Legal Newsline) – The father of a woman who committed suicide after an alleged sexual assault will still be able to argue her alleged assailant is liable for her wrongful death.
The suicide of Megan Rondini is not an event that breaks the chain of causation linking the alleged assault and Rondini’s death, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled May 7. The decision was made in response to a certified question from the federal judge hearing Michael Rondini’s wrongful death lawsuit.
That federal judge has concluded there is substantial evidence that Terry Bunn Jr. sexually assaulted Megan. The two met at a Tuscaloosa bar in 2015, while Megan was a student at the University of Alabama, and he allegedly drugged and raped her.
