HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The family of a Connecticut woman found frozen to death in 2009 settled a lawsuit Wednesday against a former state lawmaker and a tavern accused of negligent and reckless actions in the last hours of her life, including letting her wander off wearing no coat or shoes in 14-degree weather.

Relatives of Carol Jean Sinisgalli withdrew the lawsuit against former state Rep. James O’Rourke and O’Leary’s Digger McDuff’s Tavern in Cromwell after resolving the dispute in private settlement talks, according a court document obtained by The Associated Press. Terms were not disclosed.
