Mark "became belligerent and combative" and was yelling obscenities when cops tried handcuffing him yesterday, so an officer pepper sprayed him.

Cops say Mark admitted he put his hands around his father's neck and thought his dad was faking it when he fell to the ground. Daniel Kerrigan suffered a heart attack during the altercation and died.

Mark pled not guilty today to one charge of assault and battery on an elder with serious bodily injury. Mark's lawyer said that Mark suffers from post traumatic stress disorder from his stint in the Army, and has been living in his parent's basement after spending time in jail for assault and battery related charges.

I've attended a couple of social functions where Nancy was present. One time I was chatting with a group of people and Nancy walked over. She happened to be standing next to me, so I said "hello." She'd just announced that she was pregnant with her first child, so I said something along the line, "Congratulations ... and your life is going to get very interesting once you have a baby." Mommy talk. lol Nancy looked at me and said, "My life is already interesting." Ok, whatever.

I hate to say it, because of this awful situation. But, this is how she comes across to me in interviews through the years. Some celebs come off in interviews as being warm and down to earth and she's more distant and guarded.

This is a terrible situation for her family, I agree.

She's not warm and down to earth at all ... she is distant and guarded, at least IMO. There may be a reason for it, or it could be she's just not a very friendly person. I probably shouldn't have said anything, but what she said to me has stuck in my mind all these years. She was so snotty. Maybe she was just having a bad day. Who knows.

However, my heart breaks for her and her family. What a horrible thing to have happened to her father.

45, living at home, fighting with dad over the phone at 1:30 am. Dad is 70 years old.

typical adult child who behaves badly, and the whole family suffers for it.

So, who was it that dad didn't want son to call, porn, gambling? pure speculation on my part.

Breaking dad's heart, dad trying to save son, while son strangles dad, and knocks him in the head with the phone? Dad dies of a broken heart. and at the hands of a violent, impulsive son. more speculation on my part.

"When will they ever learn, when will they everrr learn."

From a song I learned as a child.

I think it's horrible when adult children don't have respect enough to move out to screw their lives up.

Prayers for the family. Please do yourselves a favor and let him be held accountable for his actions. It may be the best thing you could do for him. moo

He sounds as if he has some sort of problem with an addiction, doesn't it?

I know I might get trounced but how do you spell "bipolar and off his meds"? Everything, absolutely everything adds up. This is the sick secret of mental illness which families try to hide. My guess is that this is the type of "interesting" that Nancy was alluding to.

Sadly, those with untreated mental illness do break their family's hearts. Families remember good times and give and give and give. They are also the ones who get hurt.

I'm so sorry for their loss. IMO, Mark looks both hung-over and medicated at his hearing.

What she said to me had nothing to do with her brother, or what was going on with her family. Her life may be "interesting" when it comes to what goes on behind closed doors (so is mine), but that's not what went on.

I do feel sad for all of the family ... including Nancy for this loss.

Thread hijack. Hiya, Luvs. Just wanted to send you a hey. Luvs I'd vouch as I know you know. Remember the F bombs at Disney?

O.K. again nothing to do with the brother. Very, very sad for the entire family.

Hey, Filly! It's nice seeing you again! Yep, I remember the F bombs.


Now if you want to talk about someone with class and that's a total doll ... that's Kristi Yamaguchi. :)

Really I have to wonder if his the father shared some control issues mark displays as well, sueing your son then letting him live with you? Not letting him use the phone?
Then mark thinking he was faking? Maybe mark was used to antics from his father not that he deserved to be assaulted at all. Just thinking it all over.

I believe they sued him for all the money they spent to keep up his mortgage, pets and lawyer expenses they incurred to do with his assault charge when he was locked up.

I imagine this man was totally drunk and abusive to his father when he wanted to use the phone.

imo

I've been thinking about this a GREAT deal.

My own son has been in training for years with another very talented athlete. Training is incredibly time consuming, expensive and requires dedication from the parents. This young man, (15) also has a teenage sister (16). So while time, effort and money is pumped into their son, their daughter gets little time, support, affection, praise etc...while the parents coughed up $12000,00. dollars on a trip to China for training and competition....the sister was taken to Goodwill for her prom dress. I can see how this leads to discord and dysfunction in a family...and lots of anger, resentment and rage directed at the parents.

Lin, I've seen this myself firsthand.

The anger doesn't go out to the sibling. It goes toward the parent. Well, maybe parents plural. However usually one parent has to accompany the child so the other or others is left with the remaining parent.

There can be a sense of abandonment.

Not saying this is what happened in this case of course, but heck if I was that guy maybe I'd say "Yeah you want your money? You want to sue me? How much did Sissy's costumes cost?"

Again this is not in very case. I've seen it happen personally in one case. Usually a family rallies for the sibling/child who is accomplishing so much. Kind of like me and my superb cheerleading skills. I jest.

It's very sad. The whole thing is sad. It's a sad da*n world.

It also sounds like N and Mom don't give a hoot for Dad.

According to police, the son admits he put his hands around his father neck. And according to the link in the post a few posts above mine, the autopsy showed damage to the father's windpipe. So what exactly do they think the medical examiner was missing?

They must think sympathy for the son is missing.
