Could a utility company be charged with manslaughter if someone died after looking at their bill? An interesting proposition, to be sure. Fortunately that didn't happen in this case, but it might have had it been me.
ZANESVILLE, Ohio - Lewis Miller joked with his son as he opened his gas bill that the amount likely would give him a heart attack. Then, he saw that The Energy Cooperative of Newark had billed him $8,095 for the first nine days of service on his new account for his apartment.The energy company corrected his bill right away, but he's probably lost a few years of his life from the stress.
