LOKEN, Circuit Judge.
Juanita Graham was injured in an accident involving an Ozark Mountain Sightseeing bus. She later suffered a heart attack and died. Her surviving husband and daughter, Oklahoma residents Ross and Julie Graham, brought this diversity wrongful death action against Ozark Mountain and the bus drivers. The district court 1 granted summary judgment for defendants because the Grahams lacked evidence that the bus accident directly caused Juanita’s death. The Grahams appeal, arguing their medical experts’ testimony created a genuine fact dispute regarding causation. We affirm.
