adminphysical activity with a woman and another man.
The married father-of-two died a day before he was due to have a heart stress test.
A court in Georgia, heard that the woman involved in the sex romp was not his wife.
Lawyers representing the estate of 31-year-old Martinez filed a medical malpractice suit against Dr Sreenivasalu Gangasani.
They claimed he had failed to warn Martinez about taking part in any physical activity after he visited him to complain about chest pains a week before the threesome.
Lawyers Rod Edmond and Tricia Hoffler told a jury Martinez had called at the CardiVascular Group in Lawrenceville after experiencing pain in his chest that shot up his arm
Martinez had high blood pressure and other tests showed he was at high risk of having clogged arteries.
The court heard that Dr Gangasani arranged a stress test for Martinez, but did not tell him to refrain from any physical activity.
The lawsuit was launched after Martinez, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, died in March 2009.
According to the Atlanta Journal, it is not clear if the lawsuit was brought on behalf of Martinez’s wife or his two sons.

A jury in Gwinnett County State Court initially awarded Martinez to be 40 percent liable for his own death, reducing the verdict to US$3 million.
Lawyers who represented Dr Gangasani and the CardioVascular Group in Lawrenceville said they would appeal the decision.
“We’re definitely going to appeal the verdict and the judgment,” said Gary Lovell Jr. — Daily Mail.
