Question

Regina Farrow had worked for Door Chime Industries for 35 years, and her colleagues decided to throw a party in her honor. Farrow had long been the person in her office who was the first to celebrate and acknowledge her colleagues' birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and new babies, so they wanted to make the party a surprise—a party that, for once, she didn't have to plan. All the planning went off without a hitch, and Farrow didn't suspect a thing. When she was called into the office on a Saturday afternoon unexpectedly, she became worried that something was very wrong. As she opened the door, her colleagues jumped out and yelled, "Surprise!" Just like that, Farrow dropped dead of a heart attack. Farrow's family is devastated and plans a lawsuit against the company and the individuals who planned the party. Is this situation an intentional tort? Why or why not?
