Justice WOLFSON delivered the opinion of the court:
In this medical negligence case, personnel at the defendant hospital transferred the patient to a State medical facility, where he was examined and released. One hour later, he committed suicide. The question is whether the defendant hospital and its personnel can be held liable for that suicide. The trial judge granted summary judgment on behalf of the defendants. We affirm the trial court.
