Mia Farrow's Brother's Death: SUICIDE

CASTLETON, Vt. — Vermont State Police and a spokeswoman for Mia Farrow say the actress' brother killed himself at his art gallery. Patrick Farrow, 66, died of a single gunshot wound to the head. His body was found late Monday in his studio, a converted church in the small town of Castleton.

Police said the medical examiner's finding of suicide is consistent with evidence found at the scene.

Laura Berwick, who is Mia Farrow's manager, said Patrick Farrow was a beloved brother, husband, father, uncle and grandfather and that the family is grieving.

She has had such a hard life. My heart goes out to her. It's got to be hard enough mothering so many children on her own. She also recently lost her daughter to cancer . . .

Tragic.
Suicide at that late age smacks of impatience somehow.

May his work and the memory of his laughter and love somehow be a consolation to his loved ones at this time.

Some of the best artists, the most creative and sensitive people, succumb to such action. They feel their pain and isolation is unknown to us and unbearable. If only we could know when and give them the social connection they need to feel validated, loved, and encouraged..which doesn't come in a pill...

How very sad. The family deserves privacy now.

[SteveStephens]

His work is beautiful.

[doitright]

And how is this the business of anyone but the family?

The media should leave these poor people alone.

I read about him in American Artist. I admired his sculptures...all of them.

Some people don't want to be here and they don't care who they leave behind. I'll wait for more details.

What an awful thing to have to deal with publicly. Prayers of comfort and strength to the family. Their mother, Maureen O'Sullivan, was a great Jane.
