A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Netflix brought by a father who said the TV show '13 Reasons Why' was to blame for his 15-year-old daughter's April 2017 death by suicide.

The show's first season ends with a graphic three-minute scene depicting Hannah's suicide, which was later removed by the streaming service in 2019.

"On the advice of medical experts, including Dr. Christine Moutier, Chief Medical officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we've decided with creator Brian Yorkey and the producers of '13 Reasons Why' to edit the scene in which Hannah takes her own life from Season 1," the show said in aNetflix did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. It declined comment to The Hollywood Reporter.
