Playboy Model Katie May’s Estate Seeks ‘7-Figure’ Payout After She Died from Chiropractor Adjustment
The estate of former Playboy model Katie May is seeking a seven-figure settlement from the chiropractor she visited just before her death.
The Los Angeles County Coroner determined Oct. 19 that May died at age 34 in February as a result of an injury sustained during a “neck manipulation by chiropractor,” and that the chiropractor, identified as Eric Swartz, shifted May’s neck in a way that tore her left vertebral artery, blocking blood flow to the brain and resulting in a stroke.
Los Angeles Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter told People that her death is listed as an “infarction of brain” and was ruled an accident.

After they make it back home to their trailer, a Terminator-esque drone swoops by and suddenly their yard is full of red hats too. As Carlos’ wife and son hide away from their oppressors in a secret compartment, they watch in horror as the soldiers drag their loved one away at gunpoint.
