WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — The parents of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan once sued her brother, Mark, claiming he reneged on a promise to repay them for taking care of his home while he was serving time in jail.
Mark Kerrigan pleaded not guilty Monday to assaulting his father, Daniel Kerrigan, who died early Sunday after a disturbance at the family’s suburban Boston home. Authorities say they are awaiting autopsy results and tests to determine cause of his death.
Court records show Daniel and Brenda Kerrigan sued their son for $105,000 in March 2008. The parents claimed they agreed to pay the mortgage, taxes and other expenses on his home while he was behind bars. They said they also agreed to take care of his pets.
A judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying there was no documentation of such an agreement.
