Docket entry
972041 Hegwood v. Virginia Natural Gas Inc. 09/18/1998 The trial court did not err in striking the plaintiff's evidence in wrongful death actions because the evidence failed as a matter of law to present a prima facie case of negligence by the defendant gas company. The defendant's mechanic, upon discovering certain appliances' defects, took appropriate action to shut off the gas supply to the defective appliances and properly warned the occupants of the defects. The judgment is affirmed.
