Mia Farrow's Brother Commits Suicide


Mia Farrow has suffered her third tragedy in just over a year: Her older brother, found dead on Monday, committed suicide.

Patrick Farrow's body was discovered in his Castleton, Vt., art gallery — where he lived with his wife, Susan — late Monday. Today the coroner announced that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

"These findings are consistent with evidence found during the investigation," Chief Medical Examiner Steven Shapiro said. "Mr. Farrow's wife contacted 911 upon discovering her husband unresponsive in their home."

A professional sculptor for over 35 years, Patrick, 66, "left New York City 30 years ago to pursue his art in the peaceful mountains of Vermont," according to his gallery's official Web site. He was honored with awards from many organizations, including the National Sculpture Society and the Allied Artists of America.

In a personal artist's statement, Patrick described his work as "a loose blend of images and impressions collected over a lifetime." He credited his active imagination to the many trips he made to Hollywood film sets as a child.

The loss of her brother adds to Mia’s family heartbreak. Her 35-year-old daughter, Lark Previn, died on Christmas Day from AIDS. In May 2008, her nephew Jason F. Dene — a U.S. Army sergeant — died of injuries suffered in a non-combat related incident in Iraq.
