Mia Farrow's son, Thaddeus Farrow, died from suicide gunshot wound
Actress Mia Farrow's son Thaddeus Wilk Farrow died from a "suicide gunshot wound" to the torso, the Connecticut medical examiner's office said Thursday.
No further details were revealed.
Farrow, 27, was found gravely injured in his car at 12:45 p.m. ET Wednesday "suffering from life-threatening injuries," according to the state police report. He was taken to Danbury Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 2:30 p.m.
There was "no criminal aspect" to the death, the report said.
"We're devastated by the loss of Thaddeus, our beloved son and brother," Mia Farrow tweeted Thursday. "He was a wonderful, courageous person who overcame so much hardship in his short life. We miss him."
Thaddeus was a paraplegic and polio survivor. Mia Farrow adopted Thaddeus from an orphanage in Calcutta, India, in 1994. A November 2013 Vanity Fair profile of Farrow and her 14 adopted and biological children described Thaddeus as a car mechanic studying to become a police officer.
The VF profile explained how Thaddeus had been left in a railway station as a child in Calcutta and forced to crawl on his hands and stubs of legs to beg for food.
"Later, at an orphanage, he was chained to a post, and kids would throw rocks at him to prompt the mannish growls he made. When Mia saw him, she says, she had a powerful reaction: 'That’s my son,' " the profile stated.
As an adult, Thaddeus still needed to walk with crutches or a wheelchair.
“It was scary to be brought to a world of people whose language I did not understand, with different skin colors," Thaddeus Farrow told Vanity Fair. “The fact that everyone loved me was a new experience, overwhelming at first.”
