1Opinion of the CourtYoung, J.
We granted leave in this wrongful death medical malpractice case to consider the interplay between MCL 600.5856(d)1 and MCL 600.5852.2 Specifically, we must determine whether § 5856(d), the medical malpractice notice tolling provision, tolls the additional period permitted for filing wrongful death actions under the wrongful death saving provision, § 5852. We conclude that § 5856(d) does not apply to the wrongful death saving provision and that, therefore, plaintiffs action was not timely filed. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
