The husband of a Montana woman who died after she allegedly ate uncooked mushrooms from a sushi restaurant has renewed his calls for accountability in her death.

Donna Ventura, 64, spent 12 days in the intensive care unit after she was rushed to the hospital for what her husband thought was a normal case of food poisoning following a lunch at Dave’s Sushi in Bozeman.

In July 2023, the state and county health departments released a report stating that 50 people who ate at the restaurant got sick from eating morel mushrooms. One other person, William Lewis, 74, died. Three out of the 50 people were hospitalised.
