""Not a day has passed since the tragic death by suicide of Brandeis sophomore Eli Stuart, when Carter has not reflected on whether she could have done more in response to a call about a person in the woods. Eli's death is a profound and heartbreaking loss.""
""According to their family's lawsuit, Stuart, 20, experienced worsening anxiety and depression in the fall of 2023 and decided to attempt suicide after believing they had failed a test.""
""In the early hours of Dec. 5, Stuart took various prescription and over the counter medications, walked to the tree line near the three chapels, lied down, and texted their loved ones, the lawsuit states.""
""Stuart also started an audio recording that would continue for more than 11 hours.""
Kimberly Carter, a former Brandeis University police officer, is accused of neglecting a report about a person lying in the woods, where Eli Stuart was later found unresponsive. Following the incident, Carter resigned and permanently forfeited her police certification. Her attorneys claim she had no legal duty to prevent Stuart's death due to limited information. Stuart, who struggled with anxiety and depression, died by suicide after taking medications and recording a message for over 11 hours.
