Soap star Hunter Tylo is continuing with her malpractice suit against the therapist who was treating her 19-year-old son, Michael Tylo II, who drowned last year at the family home. A judge in the case ruled against Tylo's move to include her deceased son as a party in the legal action on Friday. Young Michael drowned last October in the family pool while his parent and siblings were out for the day. An autopsy revealed that the teen had a seizure near the pool, fell in and drowned.

"A Las Vegas judge has dismissed a portion of a lawsuit filed by actress Hunter Tylo against a therapist who was counseling her 19-year-old son, Michael Tylo II, prior to his drowning last October.

The Bold and the Beautiful star filed the suit in the form of a Jan. 24 amendment to an April 2006 malpractice lawsuit filed against Henderson, Nev., therapist Shanna Downing, who was working with several members of the Tylo family in 2004 and 2005.

Downing countered the wrongful death lawsuit with a motion to exclude Michael Tylo II as a party in the legal action, and Tylo was required to respond to Downing's motion by Feb. 11, but she missed the filing deadline."

"To date, no opposition has been filed," court papers state.
