Toxicology Results In For Mark Ruffalo's Late Brother

February 2, 2009


Mark Ruffalo's brother Scott had "very slight" traces of drugs and alcohol in his system when he died in December, according to the L.A. County Coroner's office.

Scott's toxicology results showed "a very slight trace of cocaine and alcohol," according to Coroner's office spokesman Ed Winter. "He also had slight traces of morphine which could've been due to prescription medication."

Due to the low levels of drugs and alcohol, Winter concluded that Scott was "not under the influence" when he was shot in the head at his Beverly Hills condo on Dec. 1. Coroners call Scott's death a homicide and police are still investigating the case.

Scott had a history of drug use and was once jailed for possession with an intent to sell.
