BP PLC has settled the last remaining death-related lawsuit from a 2005 Texas City refinery blast that killed 15 and wounded 170. Just as jury selection was beginning in what would have been the first civil case from the explosion to go to trial, Eva Rowe, whose parents had been killed in the blast, ended her refusal to settle. The amount accepted by Rowe was unknown, but the settlement also called for BP to continue to release relevant documents and to donate millions to schools and medical facilities.
