5030 REVIEW DENIED. In a wrongful death case, the presumed father of the deceased is entitled to the damages even though, after testing, it is determined that he is not the biological father; a presumption of paternity that arises because of marriage to the mother can only be rebutted by the mother, the child, another presumed father or an adoption agency; the half-sister of the deceased does not have standing to rebut the presumption.
