United States Eleventh Circuit

In case involving an unusual suicide by a prisoner committed in the backseat of a police car, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed as plaintiff failed to present evidence that defendant sheriff's deputy was deliberately indifferent to a known risk that the prisoner was able to obtain the deputy's firearm when it was left on the front passenger seat.
