Robert Carradine’s Family Sues UCLA Hospital for Wrongful Death
The family says UCLA staff ignored safety protocols, leaving Carradine with items used in a suicide attempt before his death after five weeks in intensive care.
- On August 7, the family of actor Robert Carradine filed a lawsuit against the University of California, Los Angeles, alleging wrongful death and elder abuse at the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital.
- Carradine, who battled bipolar disorder for two decades, voluntarily checked into the facility in January seeking treatment for suicidal ideation, hoping inpatient care would "reduce his anxiety."
- The lawsuit alleges staff violated safety protocols by letting him "walk into a locked psychiatric unit with a belt" and failed to conduct mandatory checks every 15 minutes.
- After attempting suicide 19 hours post-admission, Carradine suffered an "anoxic brain injury" and died in February after five weeks in intensive care, prompting his estate to seek damages from the Regents.
- Individuals in crisis can access support through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988, which provides free mental health resources and crisis intervention.
