  • Diane Schuler of Long Island, New York, died in a car crash on the Taconic Parkway on Sunday, July 26, 2009. Eight people, including Schuler, her 2-year-old daughter, her three nieces and three adults were killed when Schuler crashed into an SUV. She had been driving in the wrong lane for almost two miles before crashing. Schuler's son Brian, age 5, was the sole survivor.http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/07/27/2009-07-27_before_taconic_crash_mom_diane_schuler_told_brother_she_wasnt_feeling_well.html

    Authorities determined that Schuler's blood alcohol was more than twice the legal limit and she had been smoking marijuana before the crash. Her husband, Daniel Schuler, disputed the findings and in August 2009 he said wanted another autopsy to be performed; he hired attorney Dominic Barbara to represent his case. In October 2009 it was reported that Mr. Schuler did not have enough money to get an independent autopsy and other lab tests.http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/private-eye-schuler-has-no-money-for-toxicology-tests-1.1549491
