Mark Ruffalo's brother dies a week after shooting

GRIEVING MARK RUFFALO has reportedly dropped out of his latest movie project.

The actor, whose brother Scott died on Monday a week after receiving a gunshot wound to the head, has pulled out of indie drama Greenburg.

Although a reason for Mark’s departure hasn’t been given, it is believed he is keen to spend time with his family.

It is likely Mark will be replaced by BEN STILLER in the movie, which is written and directed by NOAH BAUMBACH.

Mark has released a statement thanking fans for their support, shortly after Scott died on Monday when his life support machine was turned off.

It read: "Mark Ruffalo and his family deeply appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support during this most difficult time of the passing of Scott Ruffalo, beloved son, brother and husband. The funeral service will be private. A memorial fund has been established in Scott Ruffalo's name."

It has been claimed Scott accidentally shot himself on December 1 after playing lethal game of chance Russian roulette.

Ruffalo's Death Not A Homicide - Self-Inflicted Russian Roulette

PCM reported earlier this week the tragic shooting of actor Mark Rufallo's brother Scott Ruffalo. We pointed out that police were hush hush early on. We can now share that police not only made serious strides in getting to the bottom of the shooting, they were impartial in their investigation.

It has been learned that Scott suffered a self-inflicted gun shot wound to his head. The witnesses fled the scene out of fear and bad decision making, but police have cleared all parties of homocide charges.

Mark Ruffalo's Brother Has Died

Police say the brother of actor Mark Ruffalo has died a week after he was shot in the head.

Beverly Hills Police Sgt. Renato Moreno says 39-year-old Scott Ruffalo died late Monday night at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

A phone message left early Tuesday for a Mark Ruffalo publicist wasn't immediately returned.

Two people wanted for questioning about the shooting had surrendered themselves to police earlier Monday.

Shaha Mishaal Adham is suspected of shooting Scott Ruffalo, and authorities had issued an attempted murder arrest warrant for the 26-year-old. Brian Scofield is being held on a misdemeanor traffic warrant.

Jail records didn't indicate whether the pair have attorneys, but showed that a court date for Adham has been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday.
