A man and his friend died unexpectedly in the mahjong room of the hotel after drinking, and his family sued the hotel for compensation. Do you think it's reasonable?

A man and his friend died unexpectedly in the hotel mahjong room in Changsha, Hunan Province, and their families sued the hotel for compensation. After drinking wine and eating with friends, the man went to a hotel to open a mahjong room. When the man walked to the door of the room, he suddenly felt unwell. His friend asked him to rest in the hotel and then left. At about 1 1 that night, the man died of a sudden myocardial infarction in the hotel room.

The man's wife, Ms. Chen, rushed to the hotel after hearing the news and demanded compensation from the hotel. Ms. Chen believes that during the epidemic prevention and control period, all mahjong halls were ordered to close down, but the hotel provided mahjong halls. If the hotel had refused to open the mahjong room, her husband would not have died. So the hotel should bear the responsibility.

The person in charge of the hotel argued that when Ms. Chen's husband checked in, the hotel had clearly told him not to gather people to play mahjong. But Ms. Chen's husband said that there are many of them, and even if they don't play mahjong, they need a big room. So, the hotel opened a room. In addition, the person in charge of the hotel said that after Ms. Chen's husband vomited, others settled him down and left. This should be that Ms. Chen's husband's friend failed to fulfill her duty of care, which has nothing to do with the hotel.

At present, the police have been involved in the case and the case is being further processed. In reality, there are indeed many cases of sudden death after drinking, but it cannot be said that people who drink together must be responsible. In this case, Ms. Chen did not claim from her husband's friend, but stared at the hotel to claim. Should the hotel compensate?

I think it is reasonable that the hotel has violated the law in this incident. Because the epidemic prevention regulations clearly stipulate that people can't gather to play mahjong, the hotel still opened a mahjong room for Ms. Chen's husband and others. Since the hotel said it had clearly told not to play mahjong, why did it open a mahjong room? Isn't this self-deception? So the hotel violated the epidemic prevention regulations. According to Chinese laws, we will be fined 200-500 yuan and detained for 2-5 days.

Because Ms. Chen advocates personal infringement, according to the provisions of the Civil Law, only the hotel party fails to fulfill its security obligations will be liable for compensation. But this security obligation has not been infinitely magnified. If the hotel operates legally, the room facilities are reasonable, the management system is sound, and the hotel staff take first-aid measures within the scope of their obligations after the incident, then they have fulfilled their security obligations.

Therefore, whether the hotel in this incident has fulfilled its security obligations needs to be further clarified. The cause of death of Ms. Chen's husband was a sudden myocardial infarction, which seems to have little to do with the hotel and drinking.

If the identification result is indeed related to drinking, and the friends who drink with Ms. Chen's husband have advised or failed to fulfill their duty of care, notification and protection, then these friends may face compensation. However, Ms. Chen's husband, as an adult, should be aware of her physical condition, but still indulge herself in drunkenness, and should bear the main responsibility for her death, while her friend should bear the secondary responsibility.

To sum up, it is not clear whether there is a causal relationship between the hotel and the death of Ms. Chen's husband. If Ms. Chen thinks that the hotel has not fulfilled its security obligations, she can provide relevant evidence. Finally, during the epidemic prevention and control, I still hope that everyone will have as few dinners as possible to prevent cross-infection. At the same time, we also advocate civilized dinner, moderate drinking, no persuasion, no competition for wine.
