This case has been closed since 2005 or 2006. Can it be reopened?

My uncle was suffering from degenerative disk disease of the lumbar spine and was recommened by his doctors for lumbar surgery on November 20, 2002. My uncle had a height of seven(7) feet and weighed over 350 pounds. His doctors realized that he was too large for the normal hospital operating table for a spinal surgical procedure abd authorized and ordered that a large operating room table be ordered. My uncle reported on the date of his surgery under the impression that his lumbar surgery would be performed on a large sized operating room table to sustain his size and weight. While operating the operating room bed collapsed during his lumbar fusion surgery. He required a transfusion during the procedure and experienced other complications. My uncle was able to ambulate without assistance before the procedure and was never able to ambulate afterwards. He deveoped emboli which traveled to his lungs and caused his death.
