Actor Robert Carradine dies at age 71, and his children file a wrongful death lawsuit against the University of California regents. The claim is connected to his treatment at UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital.
According to the reports, Carradine dies on February 23 after suffering an anoxic brain injury. The injury is described as resulting from a suicide attempt while he is receiving care at the hospital.
Both outlets describe the same basic sequence of events and the same named defendant, but they do not add differing details about evidence, legal arguments, or any response from the university. As presented in these articles, the dispute centers on whether the regents and related care arrangements contributed to the fatal outcome after the suicide attempt and subsequent brain injury.
