Could parents of 'Dutty Wine' girl sue Matterhorn?
Photo by: Carlington Wilmot
Could Tony Matterhorn be sued by the parents of the Tanisha Henry who died while allegedly doing the 'Dutty Wine' dance during a party in her Beacon Avenue community over the weekend?
Legal eagle Lloyd Stanbury believes that there are no legal grounds under which the family could successfully sue the performer or his record label for wrongful death and negligence.
"That would be a bit far-fetched," he said. "You can sue for anything but whether you are successful is another matter."
He went on to say: "There is no basis for liability, and I can't imagine how a court would interpret such a case because I don't see how one could extend liability to an artiste for simply doing a song. If he had been staging a concert, it would have been different because under the law, he would have needed insurance to cover his invited guests."
In the meantime, the autopsy to determine cause of death will reportedly be conducted tomorrow in Spanish Town , St. Catherine.

There is no basis for a lawsuit at all. What happened is truly sad, but Matterhorn is in no way responsible.

my sympathy goes out to the family that had lost their child!
why we as jamaica loves to come up with a whole lot of bullcrap!!! why woul we even want to think about sueing the dj. that does not make any sence that mean we would have to sue bounty killa for all that bullet!! bullet!! that he have been saying and all the people that are saying it too.
is that the cause of the shooting that goes on in jamaica? i am just tring to say that matterhorn sing a song and he didnt forcefull tell anyone to do it. its off your own will. we need to wise up now, most of the dj sing about guns, drug, and the whole nine yard thats bad.

Oh come on! No one feels good about the death of the girl, condolences to the family, but seriuosly they cannot possibly be thinking about sueing Matterhorn. I mean its not as if he came up with the dance with the intention to get people to hurt themselves and everyone is aware of the possible discomfort one may experience after doing the "Duty Wine" dance. So everyone who decides to "Duty Wine" should consider the consequences. The dance will not stop anytime soon for sure so people who decide to "Duty Wine" should do it with care.

tony did not demand anyone to do the dance. if you like the song and choose to do the dance to it then the consequences is yours. and i dont see how the dance could cause her death, she was probly a sick person and her parents want to use that dance to make a money out off tony. dont give up tony if it takes a fight do it fight all the way for your right. you deserve it.

How the hell you are going to sue someone for a song that they sing as I said before and I will say it again the man sing him song and who want to dance dance. These girls too extra they need to stick to rubba dub. If the family decide to take it to court they will never win. Is just like these Americans suing McDonalds because they are extra fat nobody send them to the place everyday to eat up that fat food. You people need to get a life and leave Matterhorn alone. You Jamaicans becoming so much Americanize everything you guys want to sue. This media is ridiculous neither the public nor the doctors can say for sure what kill this girl and already you guys want to talk about sue.

Sympathy goes out to the family and friends of the Tanisha, but come on, sueing Matterhorn isn't going to bring her back. We need to be realistic about the whole situation, if the parents are going to sue Matterhorn, he needs to sue them too, 1st, he didn't tell her to put on her clothes and go to the party, 2nd, he didn't hold her hand and force her to dance, 3rd, he wasn't even there performing at the party and lastly, SHE DID NOT ASK THE MAN IF SHE COULD DANCE TO HIS SONG OR EVEN DO HIS DANCE. Home girl did everything off her own free will, so the parent just need to bury the girl in peace and and rejoyce for the time she had spent on earth. Life is just too short to take disadvantage of such a situations, and as i said mom and dad, sorry for your lost but Matterhorn, yu back broad enough to stand anything life throwns your way, so just hold your head up and do your thing. And for all the fast a** woman dem out there, watch the neck, because it fragile and obviously can not stand pressure.

First to elaborate, There is no point in the family suing matterhorn for the girl's death. It is a tradegy but guess what she should know that it is a dangerous dance and she is taking a risk. Second of all, how the hell they know that it is the dutty wine that kill her? She collapse on the dance floor; maybe she had a heart problem from before. But seriously, matterhorn mi a yuh number one fan, and trust me nuh worry yuhself because this is total rubbish. That girl should have been in her bed, instead she at dance doing dutty wine.
Next thing that I have to say is that Jamaica needs some serious law out there. Sorry to say but they need to BAN this dutty wine dance totally. Look how many people got hurt from doing that dance and they still won't take heed. WHO CAN'T HEAR WILL FEEL and that is what that girl did. Only sad to say she is no longer here. HOPE THE REST OF UNNO LEARN FROM THIS NOW. Matterhorn continue doing yuh ting. Let us all wait for the autopsy result and don't jump and say it is the dutty wine that kill her because they did not mention her neck was broken or anything so LET'S WAIT AND SEE

I really dont think a dance like that could kill someone. In order for that to happen maybe it was being done in the wrong way.......... You can't blame an artist for that, i know so many people who do the dance and there fine and on e person i know tried it and didn't want to do it anymore and stopped. What happened is very sad but i don't beleive a dance like that could kill someone maybe injure but not kill.

The question by this site is....COULD PARENTS OF 'DUTTY WINE' GIRL SUE MATTERHORN? A lot of us are banging the parents as if they are the ones who asked this question. My condolences go out to the parents. I could only imagine how they feel at the moment, me being the mother of two teenage daughters. I also do not think that it would be wise for them to sue as it is no fault of Matterhorn. Before they think of that, they should think of the expense and time that it would take only to have the case dismissed or they losing it. I just hope that anyone who does this dance be careful and take note of its possible consequences.

It is a tragic situation but Tony Matterhorn is definitely not responsible for this girl's death. Everyone is now looking for someone to blame so they will all point fingers at the artist but filling a lawsuit is not a logic thing to do.

my condolences to that girl's family . That song should be baned!! it as caused too many injuries to adults and children neck over the past few months it is a very dangerous dance move ! Yes i strongly beleave that matterhorn and those Djayes out there should partly to be blamed. matterhorn must send his condolences to that family,Because i'm 100% sure if that dance move had gotten someone to concieve after many years of trying to have a baby then he would have been the proudes person ever. After all he's the one who have been promoting this very dangerous dance move and also the fastes you can swing your head in an compitition the more chance you have to win it.
He needs to have a Not recommended, precaution or warning notice on this music before alot more people especially a child die from it and thats when he'll b in deep Sh*t ! Sorry to say.
Thank you for reading.

To sue Matterhorn is total rubbish, its sad that she lost her life but no body knows how.
Matterhorn did not hold a gun to her head and say go and do the dutty wine or i kill u. She chose to do it herself.
Me is a girl go out often and when dutty wine a play i never yet do it, so everybody have their own mind. I prefer to do the hot wuk.
The parents are just desperate sorry to say but its true.

It's a sad story, but I don't think Matterhorn should be held accountable. For example, I've listened to the song by both Matterhorn and Kipprich an none a dem caan make mi do de wine. I just think it's ridiculous and wouldn't go there. Anyways it is very sad news. I hope others will wine with caution.

There is no legal grounds for a case against Tony, by the parents of the dead girl, my sympathy goes out to them, however, they should let it be known here and now, that the girl suffered from some heart problem.
It was not the song or the dance that killed her, but her drinking and carrying on, although she was reminded of her medical conditions.

Tony a lawsuit is not comming your way, don't worry, but if is was you alone would have to take the pressure for what you did not create.This is a wake up call to Mr. matherorn,next time give credit were credit is due.The youths from Mo Bay
(Merital Family)create them thing after them see the dance @ Flanker Friday.You hear it instead of giving the youths a bus you tief it use your popularity and bus it and come on tv talking 'bout
you invent dance for the females, you not real star.
bles all people respect all artiste but give credit where credit is due.
Pease.

Mi a go comment pon SALLY statement because she a talk about MATTERHORN fi blame or apologize to the family. First of all, matterhorn was not the one who invent this DUTTY WINE dance. This dance was built in mobay by some dancers. Matterhorn do the song fi build a hype to the dancefloor. So mek mi ask dis question, if matterhorn did sing a song seh di gal dem fi guh pon top of the sound box or on top of di roof and chuck off is it the same way they would do it? Di jamaican gal dem too f***ng fool, unno fi tek heed. Unno a nuh pickney unno can tell what is dangerous from what is not. Mi nuh believe in matterhorn fi get blame fi dat. mi sad fi hear what happen but a nuh matterhorn fault. ELE sing bout dutty wine to, why ele name not calling why only matterhorn. Mi luv Ele nuh get mi wrong but a few artist sing about dutty wine. Unno jamaican gal need fi tek time out and guh sit down in church and leave the dancehall alone. LEAVE MATTERHORN ALONE. TEK HEED GAL PICKNEY. GET OFF A MATTERHORN BL***AT BACK. REH

Dutty Wine... is a very nice dance for the lady's the guy made the song and everyone like it... anydance u dance can kill you if u go too extreame with it.. so when they want to blame Tony for the death of that girl that is very wrong, because tony was not there when the girl died he never told the girl to go and dance dutty wine... so everything she do there is on her own risk and Tony has nothing to do with that.. sorry to the girl that died but give Tony a break...
Cheers
Angel.

Condolences but how could anyone even welcome such thoughts as to sue me dj them mad man dem no av no case if this fi reach a court
First let me just surrender my condolences to the family of the deceased.I hope that where there is hurt, God will sustain comfort. But on the other hand, I have to blame the parents for letting thier daughter going out in the night while death awaited her. Yes, the daughter is an adult BUT, it is very logical that the parents should have had more control over thier daughter going to some dance while she could have been in her room studying or doing something contructive.
The essence of what I'm saying is that, we are living in a serious time and death cares for noone. Death is like the rain- it comes suddenly. I think we should take LIFE more SERIOUSLY, even when going to a simple "dance"!!!!!

My condolense go to her family and god rest her soul but he don't have anything to do with that. He tell you how to do the dance but it's up to you to decide how you gon do the dance. You can't do the dance to wild and a lot a woman want to win the competition and the gon do it as wild as they can to get that attention. So it would make to sense to sue Matterhorn. I am sorry to say.

Ohh Please!!!! These people are so rediculous.
Why would a smart and intelligent person perform a act that is dangerous to them? The song describes certain actions but it didn't tell one to carelessly overdo it! I really think some of us women over do it at the clubs, parties etc. Its now time for each of us to take control of our life and be a 'lady' also to see what seking attention can cause "DEATH!!" Condolence to her family.

"dutty wine is a lusty celebration and conformation of our dutty sex culture.The wine of the dance, mostly done by poor girls in search of a moment of recognition, is a choreographing of which gal can give the wickedest slam. It encodes the values and attitudes of a dutty wine culture. Most of us, are the incidental results of the original dutty wine culture. Jamaicans are predominantly beginning their mating lives in visiting relationships with sequential and often concurrent partners, with children a casual by-product and casualties of the free-for-all sex culture. By the time most people settle into fairly stable common law unions in mid-life, there has been a string of children with multiple partners, ready to repeat the deadly cycle. The absentee baby father, off on his nest breeding assignment is a folklorish Jamaican character like Brer Anancy or Rolling Calf. It's just the way things are, and, perhaps, were meant to be." THIS IS AN EXCERPT THAT I SAW IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF THE JAMAICA GLEANER ON NOVEMBER 2,2006. THE WRITER OF THE ARTICLE, MARTIN HENRY WAS COMMENTING ON THE RECENT DEATH OF THE YOUNG LADY. I THOUGHT THE ARTICLE WAS WELL WRITTEN AND WELL SAID. FACE IT PEOPLE, THIS IS THE CURRENT STATE OF JAMAICA. WAKE UP PEOPLE! WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR CULTURE?

First of all condolenses to the family.But come on this makes absolutely no sense and it won't in a court of law either!!!MATTERHORN cannot be held responsible for the death of that girl.It's a dance yes it gives instructions but i't's up to a young lady to decide on how far she goes......some of us ladies just go tooo far!!!

I think it is rather ridiculous that the hole idea of sueing even came up? Matterhorn mek him song and dance and put it out there... him neva tell nobody fi pick it up. anybody who finds themselves doing the dance knew the risks before they did...i mean come on, you dont think swinging ur damn head that hard ago cause some problem? well... nuttin no wrong with the dance... every dance that out there come with risks, a jus u fi use ur common sence and know how far u gonna take it. Mr. Matterhorn u know the public on ur side... nuff love and gwan do u thing.

So people could sue anyone who teaches or discusses risky acts. (boxing, gymnastics, horse riding, etc.)
