Robert Carradine’s family is taking legal action against the University of California, alleging that failures inside UCLA’s locked psychiatric unit contributed to the actor’s death. “Robert walked into UCLA’s locked psychiatric unit ‘feeling relieved to be hospitalized’ and hoped that ‘additional inpatient treatment would’ reduce his anxiety,” the filing stated. The family claims UCLA’s own policy specifically identified “belts and belt buckles” as prohibited items. According to the lawsuit, Carradine attempted suicide approximately 19 hours after entering the facility.
