Coroner: Mia Farrow's Brother Committed Suicide
Originally posted 06/17/2009 02:35PM
Two days after Mia Farrow's brother was found dead in his Vermont home, the coroner determined that Patrick Farrow died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
"These findings are consistent with evidence found during the investigation," Sgt. Tara Thomas, spokeswoman for the Vermont State Police, said Wednesday. "Mr. Farrow's wife contacted 911 upon discovering her husband unresponsive in their home."
Since the death was ruled a suicide, police will not offer further comment on the case.
Farrow, 66, a local sculptor, lived with his wife, artist Susan Farrow, in Castleton, a small town on the New York-Vermont border. He was Mia Farrow's older brother.

Originally posted 05/09/2009 05:30PM
It was a 21-day fast that fell nine days short. But in the final hours, Mia Farrow knew, "I couldn't do it."
"I just got weaker and weaker," the 64-year-old actress and humanitarian tells PEOPLE of Friday's end to her hunger strike to draw attention to Darfur. "I lost about 13 lbs."
Though she was determined to continue, she was instructed by her doctor to immediately stop due to severe health risks. "My doctor visited on Wednesday and told me to have sugar immediately because my blood sugar count dropped," Farrow says. "He said I could go into seizures."

The last two days had become unbearable for Mia Farrow, who took to her blog to say, "I'm really struggling" and "I won't be able to continue much longer."
On Friday – day 12 of going without food to draw attention to the people of war-torn Darfur – the 64-year-old actress and humanitarian wrote, "I have ended this fast."
"I have been instructed by my doctor to stop my fast immediately due to health concerns – including possible seizures," wrote Farrow. "I am fortunate. The women, children, and men I am fasting for do not have that option."
Airline magnate Richard Branson says that he will take over the fast for the next three days.

Mia Farrow's Last Meal? Chocolate Easter Eggs
Originally posted 04/23/2009 11:15AM
It's a starvation diet – and that's no joke. On Monday, April 27, actress and humanitarian Mia Farrow plans to stop eating for as long as she can to show support for the people of the war-ravaged Darfur region of Sudan. The 64-year-old UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador hopes her fasting draws attention to the million people at risk of starvation in the region after the Sudanese government expelled 13 aid agencies last month.
She talked to PEOPLE about how she's preparing for the fast.
What will your last meal be?
I don't know. Probably a fist full of aging, chocolate Easter eggs.
Have you ever engaged in anything this physically challenging before?
Not even remotely.
Are you scared at all?
A little bit. I don't know what it will do to me physically or to my mind. But that's okay. More than a million people may die, what does it matter if I am scared or not.
