Mark Ruffalo's Brother Has Died

You may or may not have heard, but Scott Ruffalo, brother of Mark, was shot last Monday at his home in Beverly Hills. TMZ reports that he passed away last night. Scott was 39. Sadness.

Police issued an arrest warrant for Shaha Mishaal Adham, a suspect in the shooting, yesterday. She turned herself into the police last night. Shaha's friend, Brian Burton Scofield, was named a "person of interest" by police. Brian was arrested for a misdemeanor traffic warrant for past
 violations.

Sources say that Shaha is related to Saudi Arabian royalty and she has already hired a high-powered attorney.

Scott Ruffalo, who was a well-known hairdresser, is survived by his wife Luzelena and stepdaughter Lucinda.

Condolences to Mark Ruffalo and his family.....

It's always sad to lose a loved one but I think losing someone you love at the hands of violence is even more harsh. You wonder what he must have gone through the seconds before he died. It's one thing to realize you're going to die but to know when...that's just too much to think about.

I'm kind of a crime story whore, so I'll ask what some others have: What was Shaha's relationship with Mark's brother? I know he was a high end hairstylist. Being "royalty" and all, was she perhaps a client? I'm curious about their relationship and haven't read anything about it yet. Any clues are appreciated.

And yeah, this is very sad. My condolences.

Very sad when anyone dies, especially in this way and also sad that there are always the people left behind.... so yes, those are two reasons I feel sadness when I hear things like this story. As for the "in my prayers" things, maybe people don't know what else to say but they want to convey they care?

Good for you , you're one of the good ones:)

And this is sad- yeah he was a stranger but you just imagine losing your own family and how much that hurts. I feel like this with lots of horrible news stories out there... a huge reason I try to avoid them now. The world seems increasingly violent .

And if this 'person' is guilty I hope she fries. Fuck the royalty connection I hope she gets nailed and not special consideration.

Sad news...the photo is sooo cute

Dont know who the person was who was murdered, however it's sad to hear that someone lost his life.

OFT: I think some people use the "I'll pray for you" phrase a little too much.. especially in the moments when youre doing something they dont agree with.

Why? So senseless. So stupid. My heart goes out to the Ruffalo family.

Anyone else think she's gonna quack about some kind of diplomatic immunity? Look at her mug shot; she's smiling for the camera. So very wrong.

TITS's picture

Missy: I say that shit and mean it. I pray every day. I dont get on my knees, but I do actually pray every day, so if I say it, I will be putting the person in those daily prayers.

Its is kind of a common expression to say to someone who is greiving because death is usually associated with religion, as is most other major life milestones.
*

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't being flip, I honestly know only one person that is known to physically pray (knees and all), and one couple that goes to church (merely because the husband likes the routine).

I don't think it's a matter of only being exposed to a small subset of the population, cause that just isn't the case.

Religion has never been a noticeable element in my life or that of friends, family or acquaintances.

I've never known any major life milestones being associated with religion either. Can't even remember the last time I heard of a child being baptized or whatever. Granted many people are married in churches, but I don't think that is so they can be blessed - isn't that why people write their own vows?

Since we're on the topic - the other thing that blows me away is the politicians in the states having to be religious! Wow. If any candidate did that here to the extent is it done there, they would NOT be viewed as a credible candidate (it's inappropriate to many to mention in that venue).

Same planet, different world eh?

It's not "disrespectful" to ask a question. The Internet has turned us into faux-intimate observers of celebrities. We use their first names, like we actually know them - that's disrespectful. It's tacky. Have about all of those brutal murders in your respective cities?? Do you go posting your condolences for them on the local news site?? Personally, I don't go to the local funeral home, and sign the guest book with thoughts to strangers. It's just odd.

Question - when americans say 'in my prayers' is that just something to say or are you really getting down on your knees and imploring god to treat this family (that you do not know personally) better than others?

I say that shit and mean it. I pray every day. I dont get on my knees, but I do actually pray every day, so if I say it, I will be putting the person in those daily prayers.

You shouldn't need to read about the relative of some sort of famous person to feel empathy or sympathy for all the violence being done against each other in this world. Open a newspaper and read about your neighbours.
____________________

Many people feel empathy or sympathy whether we know them or not because we understand what it's like to be in that position or can imagine ourselves in the same situation. It seems like a human reaction to me. Not sure why you are immune.

in that pic which one is the famous one and which is the ... um dead one?

============
Hey Tits..The one with the close shaved hair is the hairdresser that was shot. The other is the actor brother. He might of been more well known by now if he hadn't been sidelined by a brain tumor and surgery a number of years ago. Had to stop working. Passed up a lot of parts that got other actors press.

---------------------------------------
Good question...I think overall it's an expression, although there are some that will actually say a prayer. I'm not religious so I'll say something along the lines of "you're in my thoughts", to convey the same sentiment.

...more like people who pray every day will say an extra prayer actually naming someone instead of just random

for verbal laceration it is usually "you need Jesus"

nothing wring with saying an extra word of blessing and strength for a person having a low point.

my condolences to the Ruffalo family!

This familiarity with strangers is a bit presumptuous, no? Connection to a celebrity seems to warrant special attention. Certainly sad news, along with the thousand plus other murders happening over the past week, across the country.

thank YOU.

I don't fucking get it either.

You shouldn't need to read about the relative of some sort of famous person to feel empathy or sympathy for all the violence being done against each other in this world. Open a newspaper and read about your neighbours.

Maybe it's a fantasy thing, people like to imagine themselves as a part of the life of someone famous?

TITS:

It can be well-meaning OR it can be an unsuspected verbal laceration.

Some people say 'you are in my prayers' if someone or something is offensive to them and the underlying current could mean that you, the person they are praying for, needs Jesus in their life because they are WRONG WRONG WRONG.

Someone else, please feel free to jump in and elaborate!

example: "Michael Jackson, that sick bastard...he's in my prayers!"

Off-topic: if you want to see some good Mark Ruffalo movies, watch You Can Count On Me, Zodiac and my personal favorite, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

He was also the only redeeming element to that piece of crap, Rumor Has It.
