Former Green Bay Packers linebacker Brady Poppinga is suing a Southern California hospital and several of its doctors — claiming they contributed to his teenage son’s tragic death last year.
The ex-NFLer filed the suit in Los Angeles this week … alleging multiple physicians at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center did not properly care for Julius Poppinga after the family had admitted the 17-year-old into the facility’s ICU.
In the suit, Brady and his wife, Brooke, say they brought in their boy on Aug. 27, 2023 with chest pains and breathing issues … but despite ’round-the-clock attention from docs, he didn’t get better.
On Aug. 29, the Poppingas said in their lawsuit Julius was in and out of consciousness while fighting to breathe … but at one point, he woke up and was “tearful and afraid” as he yelled to Brooke he thought “he was going to die.”
