James and Lucille are married. They have followed the news relative to an oil spill caused by Oil Inc. which recently happened near their home. They decide that they should try to go fishing one last time before the oil spill destroys the environment that they have grown up with. During their trip James and Lucille catch many fish that they have eaten their whole lives and are excited about the prospect of having one last meal before the oil spill destroys their way of life. They return home and James prepares a barbecue of the day's catch. When Lucille takes a bite of the fish to test it to see whether or not it is cooked enough, she goes into shock, collapses and dies.

Please describe whether James may sue Oil Inc. for his wife's death and what legal remedies would be available to him. What defenses would be available to Oil Inc.
