Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit September 9, 1985, No. 84-3671 (Sistrunk v. Circle Bar Drilling Co.)

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

The sole question presented in this appeal is whether parents of seamen can recover nonpecuniary damages in a cause of action under general maritime law for wrongful death where the seamen were killed in territorial waters and were survived by spouses and/or children. The district court held that the parents could recover. We reverse.

I.
