Entering A Jackson Pollock Phase

I don't think this would have received national attention if David Carradine didn't make every unexpected death a possible sex crime...

Patrick Farrow (66), brother of actress Mia Farrow, killed himself at his art gallery with a single gunshot wound to the head late Monday night. He lived with his wife in Castleton, a central Vermont town of about 4,300 not far from the New York border.

Police had 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, meaning his brains were all over the place and he wasn't lynched by his junk with pantyhose. Farrow was a professional sculptor for more than 35 years, and often had local college students and classes through the gallery each year. The Farrow Gallery says it sells jewelry and mixed-media works of art.

(truthfully, it's not much of a story, but once I saw it, I had to post it, if for nothing but the chance to use the image from Full Metal Jacket.)
