Former Olympian, Nancy Kerrigan lost her father, Daniel Kerrigan yesterday morning. He suffered from a massive heart attack and died at the scene.  He was 70 years old.

Nancy’s brother, Mark Kerrigan was allegedly fighting with his father in the kitchen, things got physical and now Daniel is dead.  Mark has been arrested and charged with assault and battery of an elder with serious bodily injury.

Nancy’s mother told the Boston Herald, “”My husband had a massive heart attack,” adding “This is a very difficult time for me.” The paper also reports that Mark told police he thought his dad was “faking it” when he fell to the floor.

UPDATE: Nancy’s mother told police the fight was over the telephone — when Daniel refused to let Mark use the phone, Mark grabbed him by the throat. When Daniel was choking, Mark thought his father was “faking it.”

UPDATE: Mark Kerrigan enters his plea.  Click here for the latest details.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kerrigan’s.

R.I.P. Daniel Kerrigan
