Thursday, July 3, 2008  

The Coeur d'Alene Tribe is being sued over two deaths at its casino in Idaho.

Donald S. Hanson, 55, and Richard E. Stokes, 49, died in a June 2006 fire at the Coeur d'Alene Casino. The fire was determined to be an accident but it was linked to fireworks and propane stored in a shipping container at the casino.

The families of the two victims filed claims in state and tribal court for more than $1.8 million.
