Actor Chris Penn dead, no sign of foul play
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Character actor Chris Penn, younger brother of
Oscar-winner Sean Penn, was found dead on Tuesday at an apartment
near the Pacific Ocean in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Monica,
police sources said.
No cause of death was immediately determined but there was no signs of
foul play, the sources added.
A family spokeswoman confirmed the death and said the Penn family
"would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this
difficult time."
Penn, 43, was a character actor who appeared in dozens of films
including "Reservoir Dogs," "Mullholland Falls" and the 2004 film
"Starsky & Hutch."
In one of his best known roles, he played baby-faced criminal Nice Guy
Eddie Cabot in director Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." He
also starred along with his brother in the 1986 film "At Close Range."
Recently, Penn voiced Officer Eddie Pulaski in the video game "Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas."

I wonder what he died of (?). Predictions, anyone? I'll guess drugs.
Think suicide? Probably a long shot.
