It’s been a few years since we lost the great Bill Paxton, one of the more recognizable actors from the ’90s and aughts who appeared in blockbusters like Aliens, Predator 2 and Twister. Paxton unfortunately died from a stroke in 2017, 11 days after heart surgery, and his family sued the hospital and surgeon for wrongful death. Now, they’ve reached a settlement.

There’s been a previous settlement in the case with an anesthesiologist group that agreed to pay about $1 million to the family, according to Deadline, but the remaining suit against the hospital and surgeon was about to go to trial. That’s not the case anymore, however, as Paxton’s wife Louise and his two kids James and Lydia filed a notice with the court that they’re settling.
