The only time I ever saw a human patient with a pneumo in a practice was when a doctor accidentally stuck the upper lobe of the lung doing a cervical trigger-point injection lower down in the upper back. It was pretty bad to see. I know it can happen spontaneously but when it happens during liver-shunt surgery, it is likely from a nick. I hope you get some expert help.
Did the surgeon tell you what caused the death and/or the pneumo himself? Did he/she own it?
