Plaintiff failed to prove defendants breached any duty of care because credible forensic and eyewitness evidence established the death was self‑inflicted hanging, there was no history or indicators that the deceased was a suicide risk so suicide was not reasonably foreseeable, and there was no reliable evidence of foul play; coroner's inquest findings are not binding in civil proceedings and cannot substitute for proof of negligence, therefore claim dismissed.
