Oct. 6th, 2004 -- The family of the 22-year-old man who was killed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in September has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company.

22-year-old Marcelo Torres was killed when a train struck the roof of a tunnel and the first car ran under the lead car. Additional lawsuits were filed by a friend of Torres and on behalf of a family who were injured during the accident. None of the amounts of money sought were disclosed.
