The first is a claim against the estate fo the deceased individual if his estate has any funds available. Second, is possibly the building management.

My question to you is whether your auto insurance would provide coverage for this accident.

Re: Suicide

Report the incident to the insurance. They may help you. Otherwise you must sue the property owner and/or the deceased's estate.
