Robert Carradine's family has filed a lawsuit against the regents of the University of California, accusing them of wrongful death and elder abuse. The lawsuit claims that UCLA's psychiatric unit failed to protect Carradine, who had a history of suicide attempts, by allowing him to bring a belt into the locked unit. The family asserts that this contraband item was left in his room and that the hospital did not adhere to standard procedures by not confiscating it.
Carradine died by suicide 19 hours after his admission. The family alleges that the hospital did not check on the actor every 15 minutes as required, and no one monitored him for extended periods. Carradine suffered an anoxic brain injury and spent five weeks in intensive care before dying on February 23, 2026. The lawsuit seeks general, special, and economic damages, as well as wrongful death damages from the defendants.
