Eli Lilly and Co. settles wrongful death lawsuit

Apr 9, 2013

Eli Lilly and Co. has settled a long-running wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of a South Dakota boy who committed suicide on Christmas Eve 2004, four weeks after taking the antidepressant Cymbalta.

The settlement comes a month before a jury trial was set to begin in a South Dakota federal court.

Terms weren’t disclosed in court filings. An order filed last week by a magistrate judge said the settlement involved setting up a trust fund bearing the name of the 16-year-old boy, Peter Schilf. The order also refers to “payment by Lilly of the agreed confidential amount.”
