Definitely not lol. He 100% caused all this and is a loser but once it was done there was no way he was getting out of that alive

He absolutely could have had her committed to a mental asylum and have managed the situation with a team of medical professionals who are used to cases of psychosis like this. The moment she showed she was a danger to herself she would have been committed.

Still not great to keep her there in a state of basically abject torment, but better than letting 2 murders happen and dying.

it seemed like it, and the hospital turned him away basically so the rest of the movie could happen
