Nancy Kerrigan, Figure skater Nancy Kerrigan’s father, 70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan was found dead in his home at 7 Cedar Avenue Boston Sunday (January 24, 2010) after a physical altercation with his son, Nancy’s brother Mark Kerrigan.
Mark was arrested and charged with assault and battery on an elder with serious bodily injuries. More charges may be filed later. 45-year-old Mark Kerrigan was intoxicated when cops arrested him, and “had to be subdued with pepper spray.”
According to a five-page police report, the two men were yelling and pushing each other. At one point the younger Kerrigan put his hands on his father’s throat. He thought Daniel Kerrigan was “faking it” when he fell to the ground. The fight happened in the kitchen, where there were bloodstains, but Daniel’s body was found in the basement.
40-year-old Nancy Kerrigan lives just a few minutes away from the house where the fight occurred, which was also her childhood home. She’s currently married with three children. Her father’s funeral will take place on Thursday.
Daniel Kerrigan’s wife, Brenda, told the Boston Herald that she believed her husband suffered a heart attack, but police have yet to officially confirm this.
