CLEVELAND - The youngest brother of Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich was found dead at his home Wednesday.
Perry Kucinich, 52, was found facedown by another brother, Larry, about 9 a.m., said Powell Caesar, a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office.
There were no signs of foul play, Caesar said. An autopsy was being performed.
Larry Kucinich had taken his brother shopping Tuesday and then took him home. But Larry could not get an answer when he called Perry on Wednesday, Caesar said. Larry told officers his brother had a history of mental illness and had stopped taking his medication.
"He's taking this very hard," the congressman's aide said.
