Seems to me the negligence was on the part of her family sending her off alone.
Indeed, “comparative fault/contributory negligence” (not sure of the Arizona regime) will likely be a factor that the defense will raise in order to reduce or eliminate any award of damages.
You got that right. Yet I have not heard a journalist get within a mile of uttering that fact. Sending a human time bomb like that off to rehab which was two flight segments away (via airports that all have cocktail lounges), without some supervision was the critical fact in her death. TSA and Phoenix police do not need to be trained as psychiatrists or substance abuse specialists. The critical error was on the part of her family.

I don’t enjoy saying this but my impression is that there was no friend or family member willing to tolerate her antics on the flight.
That’s sad.
