So does this sound right?

LEDE: Owners of Steak & Ale restaurant settled a $ 1 Million lawsuit for selling alcohol to a minor that eventually led to the man's death.

I'd add "The" >> The owners of . . .

Also, saying the "young" man's death makes it clear that it was the minor who died.

Even better would be to include the man's age. >> the 20-year-old man's death.

<b>The owners of Steak & Ale Restaurant settled a $1 million lawsuit for selling alcohol to a minor that eventually led to the 20-year-old man's death.</b>
