According to Fox 5 Vegas, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and NBC News, a wrongful death lawsuit was filed against Trump International Hotel in Clark County District Court on behalf of San Francisco Bay area, Calif., resident Diana Truschke.

Truschke was visiting the hotel when she was struck by the revolving door after it sped up behind her and caused her to fall forward onto her face, the complaint claims, per the outlets. She was then taken to a nearby hospital, where she received “extensive medical treatment.
Truschke died “due to complications from her injuries” after her health “continued to deteriorate,” the complaint alleges, per Las Vegas Review-Journal and NBC News.
