Google cofounder Sergey Brin is facing a wrongful-death lawsuit stemming from a plane crash last year that killed two crew members en route to a private island in the South Pacific.
The lawsuit also alleges that Brin intentionally delayed the recovery process.
The suit identifies Brin, Google, and Bayshore Global Management — Brin's family office — as the "owner/operators" of the aircraft.
While the lawsuit does mention various recovery efforts conducted by Brin's team, it alleges frequent and drawn-out delays.
Olarte Maclean alleges that Brin's representatives cited weather conditions at the crash site and their interactions with the USCG as excuses.
