Brother of US presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich found dead, no sign of foul play

Associated Press | Dec 19, 07 12:00 AM CST

The youngest brother of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich was found dead at his home Wednesday.

Perry Kucinich, 52, was found face down by another brother, Larry, about 9 a.m., said Powell Caesar, a spokesman for the local coroner's office.

There were no signs of foul play, Caesar said.

Dennis Kucinich, 61, is a six-term congressman from the U.S. state of Ohio who is making his second bid for his party's nomination; he also sought the nod in 2004. He registers in low single digits in polls and has raised little money for what is considered another long-shot run. Kucinich, who is known for his liberal views, has attracted a devoted following.
