Nancy Kerrigan's Father's Death Ruled a Homicide

The recent death of former Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan's father, Daniel Kerrigan, has been ruled a homicide. According to the Middlesex Chief Medical Examiner, Daniel died from a cardiac dysrhythmia after suffering a neck injury during a physical altercation at his home.

The coroner says that Daniel suffered a cartilage fracture to the larynx area, which was exacerbated by heart disease. He was 70 years old at the time of his death, and was said to have had an argument and struggle with his son, Mark.

Mark Kerrigan faces one charge of assault and battery on an elder with serious bodily injury. However with this findings, it would be surprising if prosecutors decided to increase the charges against him.
