South Orange NJ, a federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Seton Hall University by the family of a student who tragically died while in COVID isolation housing in 2021.
The case, brought by Sean McCartney and Donna Dockery, alleged that the university failed to protect their daughter, Kristen McCartney, a sophomore from North Carolina who suffered from epilepsy. The family claimed Seton Hall was negligent in providing proper care and safeguards, especially after moving her to an isolation dorm following a positive COVID test.
