State Will Pay $550,000 In Wrongful Death Of 6-year-old
The state has agreed to pay $550,000 to remedy, as much as possible, the wrongful death of David Ryan Keeley, who suffered repeated abuse at the hands of his state-appointed caretaker before he ultimately died, at age 6, of a head injury.
The money — secured through the efforts of Keeley’s paternal uncle and administrator of his estate, Norwich resident Kenneth E. Keeley Jr., and his attorneys — will be equally divided among Keeley’s surviving siblings, a 12-year-old sister who lives in Colorado and two half-siblings.
