A former Marine and grandfather has died after being scalded by hot water in a California hotel shower, a lawsuit alleges.

The Oct. 15 wrongful death lawsuit said the water reached 134 to 136 degrees Fahrenheit as Terril Johnson showered at the Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites San Jose Airport, according to the filing obtained by Fox News Digital.

The water temperature was said to be above the state’s 120-degree limit for individual showers, resulting in burns covering more than 33% of Johnson’s body, according to the medical examiner’s report.

Johnson, 72, had traveled from Los Angeles to San Jose on May 22 to attend his granddaughter’s college graduation at San Jose State University.
