Exercise 2

When his wife died of Alzheimer's disease in an Ohio hospital, Gomez instructed the attending physician to have her brain preserved for research purposes to help determine causes of the disease. The brain was placed in chemicals and sent to the National Research Lab for study. The package containing the brain, however, was lost when it arrived at the lab; it was never found. The husband, who said he would "never be able to totally bury" his wife because of the loss, suffered severe mental shock and was treated for several years by a well-known psychiatrist. For which tort or torts, if any, can the husband sue the National Research Lab?
