More than three years having elapsed from the time of the injury to the *272time of the death, suits by the decedent for his injuries would have been barred before he died. Under the authorities the right of a personal representative to sue under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act for his wrongful death is dependent upon the existence of a right on the part of the decedent immediately before his death to maintain an action for the injuries which caused his death.
