- A Tennessee court ruled in favor of the family of Stefan Suto, an 80-year-old man who died after receiving an experimental hydrogen peroxide treatment for COVID-19 from Dr. Carrie Madej. The court awarded his estate almost $1.3 million in damages ($1 million punitive, $231,000 compensatory).
- Suto developed hemolytic anemia due to toxic peroxide exposure after Madej administered nebulized and intravenous hydrogen peroxide. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he died on Dec. 23, 2021, despite family efforts to seek emergency care in Florida.
- The family sued Madej for negligence and wrongful death, claiming her treatments caused "agonizing pain" and irreversible health decline. Madej, who surrendered her medical license in 2023, failed to respond to the lawsuit.
- Suto's family, who knew Madej through the health freedom movement, believed they were acting in his best interest under her guidance. They later accused her of refusing critical medical intervention when his condition worsened.
- Despite the legal victory, Suto's family expressed lingering grief over his preventable death.
A Tennessee court has sided with the family of a Tennessee man who was treated with a potent mix of hydrogen peroxide for Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, awarding his heirs $1.3 million in damages.
In a May 19 decision, Tennessee Circuit Court Judge Michael Pemberton sided with the heirs of 80-year-old Stefan Suto, who died after receiving an experimental hydrogen peroxide treatment for COVID-19 by Dr. Carrie Madej. Pemberton awarded Suto's estate, with his daughter Jana Sutoova Bennun as executrix, $1 million in punitive damages and $181,000 in compensatory damages.
He also ordered that Jana, in her capacity as an individual plaintiff, be paid $100,000 in compensatory damages and $50,000 in punitive damages. All in all, Madej was ordered to pay $1.33 million in damages, alongside all court costs taxed against her.
Jana and her husband Steve Bennun, Suto's son-in-law, believed they were acting in his best interest under Madej's guidance. However, Suto died from hemolytic anemia caused by toxic peroxide exposure. According to court documents, Madej administered nebulized and intravenous hydrogen peroxide, before the 80-year-old's condition rapidly declined.
Despite pleas for further medical intervention, Madej allegedly refused, prompting the family to seek alternative care in Florida. But this was too late – Suto passed away on Dec. 23, 2021.
The lawsuit by Suto's heirs alleged negligence and wrongful death. Madej – who surrendered her Georgia medical license in 2023 – never responded to the claims.
The agonizing truth about Suto's death
Suto's ordeal began when he and his family developed flu-like symptoms that they suspected were COVID-19. They turned to Madej, also an advocate of health freedom, for help. The family knew Madej from their forays into the health freedom movement, as they even hosted content about it on their YouTube channel.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, hydrogen peroxide was used as a therapy by alternative healthcare providers. But the case involving Suto's death at the hands of Madej underscores the dangers of such therapies if not done properly. His family members allege the treatments "caused agonizing pain and [the] decline of Stefan's health condition to a point of no return."
Despite the civil judgment favoring his heirs, Suto's family said the victory provides little solace. "They turned their backs on us," Steven lamented.
