Shannon Amos sues brother over father John Amos death
John Amos daughter Shannon Amos filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her brother Kelly Christopher Amos regarding the actor's 2024 passing.
Lawsuit claims elder abuse and isolation
The complaint alleges that K.C. Amos delayed medical care while isolating his father from family and friends in the years before he died. Shannon Amos states her brother manipulated John Amos into believing others were trying to exploit him, leading to blocked contact attempts for three months in 2023.
Conditions described as unsafe and unsanitary
The lawsuit says the actor was left alone in hotels containing trash and drug paraphernalia. John Amos suffered from an infection in his feet caused by maggots during this period, which prompted a call to Adult Protective Services.
Legal action seeks to void will
Shannon Amos requests a court order barring her brother from inheriting from the estate and voiding the current will. The suit also asks for unspecified damages related to the elder abuse claims.
