Suit claims otherwise healthy Bed-Stuy man died after consuming energy drink.
The family of a Bed-Stuy man who died last year after consuming Red Bull energy drinks during a basketball game are suing the company that manufactures the beverage, the New York Daily News reported Monday.
According to the Daily News, 33-year-old Cory Terry's family claims that the additives in Red Bull that give it it's "pick-me-up" quality are more dangerous than the company lets on.
Terry reportedly suffered a heart attack in 2011 after drinking Red Bull while playing basketball.
His family claims he was in good health at the time of his death, and that the coroner cited his consumption of the drink in the autopsy.
The suit is seeking $85 million in damages as a result of the wrongful death claim.
