Sad Day for Kucinich Family

Sad Day for Kucinich Family

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich's youngest brother was found dead at his home in Cleveland Wednesday, the Associated Press has reported.

Perry Kucinich, 52, was found face down by another brother, Larry, at about 9 a.m., a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County Coroner's office told the wire service this afternoon. There were no signs of foul play, Caesar said. An autopsy was being performed Wednesday to determine the cause of death.

Kucinich's press secretary, Natalie Laber, told the Associated Press that the presidential contender flew immediately to Cleveland. "He was very close to Perry and he's taking this very hard," Laber said.

Dennis and Elizabeth are in my prayers - so is the future of our country and the world this holiday season. Kucinich deserves time to grieve but our country still needs his leadership. May god help us through our national crisis and bless Dennis and Elizabeth with peace.
