*If you ever wondered how that wrongful death lawsuit against former NBAer Marcus Camby turned out, we’ve got the latest on that front.
The bottom line is that Camby has settled the lawsuit that accused him of being partly to blame for his 9-year-old autistic nephew’s drowning at his Texas mansion. As we previously reported, Marcus McGhee sued Camby over the death of his son (also named Marcus McGhee) after the boy drowned on Camby’s property over Thanksgiving in 2016.
Camby response to the suit was to say that he was in no way responsible for his nephew’s death. He argued that he had no legal responsibility for the incident under Texas law and says it was “a terrible, tragic and unnecessary death of a young boy … who was part of Camby’s own family.”

McGhee accused Camby and the family of taking over two hours to call the police after realizing young Marcus was missing and McGhee claimed that once police “did arrive, they detected illegal drug use on the property, and Camby was reluctant to let police inspect certain areas of his house.”
Recently, according to The Blast, documents were filed in the case and now we’re finding out that Camby and McGhee reached a settlement and per their agreement, all claims against Camby will be dismissed and the case closed.
