Mr. Combs died on May 30, 2014, and on October 24, 2014, Rose Combs was substituted as petitioner as personal representative of the Estate of Tommy Combs. Petitioner also alleged that Mr. Combs's death was a sequela of his alleged vaccine-related injury.\n\nRespondent denied that the TDaP vaccination caused Mr. Combs's pancreatitis or any other injury, and denied that his death was a sequela of the alleged vaccine-related injury. Nonetheless, both parties agreed in a joint stipulation filed December 2, 2015 to settle the case. Special Master Gowen found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court.
