NANCY KERRIGAN'S FATHER IS FOUND DEAD & HER BROTHER IS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT!

Massachusetts police have arrested the brother of famed Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan in connection with the suspicious death of their father.
Mark Kerrigan, 45, is expected to be arraigned later Monday on charges of assault and battery on an elderly person, police said.

Daniel Kerrigan, 70, was found unconscious Sunday in the kitchen of the skater's childhood home in Stoneham, Mass. after cops got a 911 call reporting a "sudden death," police said.

His wife, Brenda, told the Boston Herald that her husband suffered a heart attack.

Police have not confirmed that.

Mark Kerrigan was also taken to a hospital for treatment of an unspecified injury and later brought to the Stoneham Police Department for questioning, police said.

Kerrigan, 40, a married mother of three, lives in nearby Lynnfield, Mass.

She was the victim of rival skater Tonya Harding, whose ex-husband Jeff Gillooly hired a hit man to kneecap Kerrigan with collapsible baton at a figure skating practice in 1994.

Kerrigan recovered in time to win a silver medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics. She also won a bronze medal at the 1992 Olympics for the U.S. skating team.

Harding was convicted of hindering prosecution and banned for life by the U.S. Figure Skating Association for her role in the attack on ice princess Kerrigan.
