I am sorry for your family's loss, Jaylean. He was very young.
Start with an autopsy.
Further, the answer to your question can only be sought by request and review of your husband's complete medical records beginning with the death certificate and autopsy report to determine if the standard of care was breached by the physicians you have identified and did such a breach cause your husband's death.
Consequently, if you are interested in consulting with one of us, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit on this forum.
Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation in general (there are exceptions) for bringing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit can run as early as 2 years from the date of death.
