Even three is too many.

Had their friends sought medical help -- or even stayed with them in a couple of cases, they would have lived.
DA, while it's easy to play out the "then what's" here, James has an excellent point. His point is that in about 99.99999% of cases, what these guys did would have been just fine and they'd still have their charter today.

It just so happened that lightening struck, and what was legitimately unexpected happened -- she died. I agree that they're not 100% to blame for this or even close to that.

I agree with James that if what was done by their HQ was only due to this incedent, that it seems like an unfair knee-jerk reaction to avoid liability. Not fair to the members in any way, shape or form.
