Terril Johnson had traveled to San José in May to see his granddaughter graduate from San José State the next day and jumped into the hotel shower after a long drive from Los Angeles. But instead of a relaxing shower, family members allege, the 72-year-old was "effectively boiled alive" by scalding water that a medical examiner said ultimately resulted in his death, according to a lawsuit filed against the hotel.

Terril Johnson, a 77-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran, drove six hours from Los Angeles this spring to see his gymnast granddaughter graduate from San Jose State University, but a lawsuit by his family claims he died in a San Jose hotel, effectively boiled alive in a hot shower. He died the night before the graduation, said his son Terril Johnson II, of Riverside. Johnson had been ecstatic at the prospect of seeing his granddaughter Trinity Johnson receive her management degree, his son said.

A Riverside County woman known as "the butt lady" has been convicted of murder after a second client - a TV actor living in Malibu - died from silicone injections she administered, authorities said. Last year, Libby Adame was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a certification for giving 26-year-old Karissa Rajpaul a fatal silicone butt injection in Sherman Oaks in 2019. But the conviction did not stop her from continuing to perform unauthorized procedures in California, prosecutors said.

When power to the truck's electric doors was shut down by the fire, the four passengers were locked inside with no way out.

"I don't know if I'll ever recover truthfully," said Marcus Psalms, Jon-Marques's father, reflecting on how difficult it was to say goodbye when he left for college in Louisiana.

Oscar Daniel Hernandez and Gladys Bautista Vasquez, the parents of Oscar Omar Rodriguez, filed a notice of claim against the city on Sept. 11, contending the Los Angeles Dept. of Parks & Recreation exposed children to harm by granting Mario Garcia-Aquino a permit to coach youth soccer teams. "The City of Los Angeles, through its permit application and approval process, knew or should have known that Mario Garcia-Aquino would be using city parks solely to groom and sexually abuse children on a daily or weekly basis under the guise of a boys' soccer club," read the notice, typically a precursor to a civil lawsuit.
