The parents of an Activision employee who died by suicide during a company retreat in 2017 are suing the company for wrongful death, according to a report by The Washington Post

The parents of Kerri Moynihan, a 32-year-old finance manager at Activision Blizzard, are suing the company for wrongful death. Investigators ruled Moynihan’s death a suicide after she was found dead in a hotel room at Disney’s grand Californian hotel & spa in April 2017.

The lawsuit was filed by California’s Department of fair employment and housing (dfeh) last July. Activision Blizzard said the dfeh’s allegations were’distorted, and in many cases false’.

Lawsuit claims Activision Blizzard’fostered and permitted a work environment in which sexual harassment was pervasive’. It also accuses boss Greg restituito of hiding his sexual relationship with Moynihan to investigators.

Activision Blizzard allegedly refused to give police access to both Moynihan and restituito’s company-issued phones and laptops during the investigation of Moynihan’s death.

Activision Blizzard has been embroiled in controversy since last year’s lawsuit. The Wall Street Journal dropped a bombshell report alleging Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has been aware of rampant sexual misconduct at the company. In January, Microsoft announced its forthcoming acquisition of Activision Blizzard, with Kotick remaining as the company’s CEO until the deal closes sometime in 2023.

The Verge reached out to Activision Blizzard with a request for comment but did n’t immediately hear back. Activision Blizzard did n’t hear back.
