  • Notes 
    • Dorothy died in a fire at her home, caused by her negligent smoking in bed. The fire resulted in a lawsuit brought by Dorothy's home health aide (Lydia Sanchez), who was injured in the fire. Around midnight, Sanchez discovered "a big fire on top of" Kavanaugh's bed. Dorothy was sitting on the side of the bed. Sanchez tried to pull Kavenaugh from the bedroom, but Kavanaugh, who had limited mobility under normal circumstances at age 92, would not cooperate and appeared to be in shock. Sanchez called 911 and returned to the bedroom to try to save Kavanaugh, but she could not breathe or see in the thick, dark smoke. Sanchez suffered burns to her hands and feet and injuries from smoke inhalation. She spent three weeks in intensive care. A jury awarded her $903,000 in damages. See Sanchez v. Brooke, et al., California Court of Appeal (B224835) (2012) from Los Angeles Co. Super. Ct, . No. GC041017.
