Taylor SCHMELZ, et al., Appellants, v. The SHERIFF OF MONROE COUNTY, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Rehearing Denied October 25, 1993.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jack L. Herskowitz, Miami, Chonin & Sher, Coral Gables, for appellants.

Parker, Skelding, Labasky & Corry, Tallahassee, for appellee.

Before NESBITT, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from final summary judgment which determined that appellant's attempted suicide while incarcerated constituted an independent, intervening and unforeseeable cause of his injuries for which defendant is not liable. Guice v. Enfinger, 389 So.2d 270 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980). We find the instant facts distinguishable from those in Guice and reverse the order under review.
