A family has accepted a $1 million settlement for the 2005 death of one of their premature twin sons at Central DuPage Hospital.

Benjamin Abderhalden was born Oct. 3, 2005, a premature 33-week-old twin, weighing 4 pounds and 11 ½ ounces, with an excellent prognosis for survival, according to a news release from the Chicago-based firm Corboy & Demetrio, which represented the family.

The day after his birth, Fontanilla ordered a percutaneous central venous catheter for the newborn to provide him with nutrients and intravenous therapy. On Oct. 9, Benjamin developed respiratory distress with fluid in his chest cavity, according to the release. The tip of the line had eroded the vein, allowing fluid to spill out. He died a day later.
