Jurors in a Los Angeles suburb have cleared two doctors of negligence in the death of actor John Ritter.

By a vote of 9-3 vote, the jury decided the cardiologist and radiologist were not negligent for not discovering that Ritter had a torn aorta in his heart.

Evidence shows that another doctor who performed a body scan on Ritter two years prior to his death suggested a follow-up with treatment by a physician, but Ritter didn't follow through. He died in 2003.

The $67 million lawsuit was brought by Ritter's widow, actress Amy Yasbeck, and his children.
