OPINION OF THE COURT
STAPLETON, Circuit Judge:
We are called upon again to consider the standards governing a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action brought in the aftermath of the suicide of a pretrial detainee. Sue Ann Col-burn alleges that Upper Darby Township (“Upper Darby”), its police department, and an individual police officer violated her daughter’s due process rights by failing to prevent her suicide. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants. We will affirm.
