Mother of woman killed in high-rise fire sues building management

The mother of a 32-year-old woman killed in a lakefront high-rise apartment blaze earlier this month has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against building management, saying her daughter would be alive today had a sprinkler system been in place to douse the flames.

JoAnn McCoy, whose daughter Shantel perished in the Jan. 8 fire, also claims building management “failed ... to warn [the victim] of a fire” and “allowed [the victim] to use the elevators when defendant knew or should have known it was not safe to do so.”
