Lawsuit against Royal Kahal Beach Resort defendants dismissed without prejudice

Strukture Architects Limited and Anna Maria Espat were dismissed without prejudice from a wrongful death lawsuit concerning the Royal Kahal Beach Resort in San Pedro. The lawsuit, filed by families of three women who died from carbon monoxide poisoning at the resort in February 2025, sought US$100 million in damages. The dismissal was confirmed by a filing in the US District Court in Massachusetts.

The lawsuit named the resort, its owners, developers, and contractors, as well as travel booking platform Expedia. The case involved allegations that Strukture Architects Limited had been involved in the resort’s development and project management. A dismissal without prejudice allows the claims to be brought again.
