STRATFORD — The widow of a professional skier from Bulgaria who drowned while kite-surfing off Long Beach West two years ago has filed a negligence lawsuit against the town in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport.
Veneta Popow, 37, of Peekskill, N.Y., filed the suit seeking in excess of $75,000 for the death of her husband, 48-year-old Stoil Popow on Jan. 21, 2006.
The search for Popow, one of the most intensive ever in the area, included U.S. Coast Guard helicopters from as far away as Cape Cod and covered about 260 square miles.
The drowning also touched off worldwide reaction, as people from across the globe contributed money so the Bulgarian native's wish to be buried in his homeland could be realized. Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscription Specials - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Netflix
