Before HUBBART and PEARSON, DANIEL S., and FERGUSON, JJ.


HUBBART, Judge.

This is a consolidated appeal by the plaintiffs from (1) a final order dismissing a complaint as to one defendant, and (2) a final summary judgment entered in favor of a second defendant, in a wrongful death action. The trial court concluded that the defendants' alleged negligence was not, as a matter of law, a proximate cause of the death of the plaintiffs' decedent. For the reasons which follow, we disagree and reverse.
