I just heard on my local news that Chris Penn, actor and brother of Sean Penn was found dead. It is breaking news and they didn't reveal much info. The news would give more info as it became available.

Really??

Ireneparalegal · 01-24-2006, 10:30 PM

At this time they would only say his body was found in a Santa Monica residence and they were showing live footage of the police at the residence, but no other details were given other than it is confirmed it is Chris Penn.

What???

Wasn't Chris Penn married to another famous lady? I also think they were having marital problems.

I hope it's not for real.

I just heard on the news that the MEDIA CALLED THE CORONER. The news leaked before the coroner was even aware; the news spread before anyone could stop it.
