(AP) – The death of actress Mia Farrow's brother has been ruled a suicide. Police say Patrick  Farrow, a 66-year-old sculptor, shot himself in his Vermont gallery Monday night. Police initially classified Farrow's death as suspicious, but later said the medical examiner's ruling of suicide was consistent with evidence found at the scene. He and Mia are the children of director John Farrow and actress Maureen O'Sullivan.

"The family of Patrick Farrow is grieving the tragic loss of their beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, who sadly chose to take his own life," said Mia Farrow's manager, Laura Berwick. "They greatly appreciate the support of their friends during this difficult time."

Sad story. If you check out the website for his gallery, he had a great deal of talent, and it looks like a pretty whimsical sense of humor. I have no experience, thankfully, with suicide, but that doesn't mean a person can't empathize with the pain that must have led to it.

...though she claims to have dealt with it, once again her inhumane insensitivity got the best of her.

Hi shonan. If you look at MrsK's response, you can see I clearly called this one.
