The sudden and mysterious death of Mia Farrow's brother Patrick Farrow resurrects old questions around the cause of death of Farrow's adopted daughter Lark Previn on Christmas Day 2008

When Lark Previn died on Christmas Day in 2008 no cause of death listed was announced.  All that was said about the 35-year old's passing was that she struggled with a long term illness.  Speculation at the time was that Lark Previn died from AIDS related complications.

The "Rosemary's Baby" star lost her 35-year-old adopted daughter Lark Song Previn, at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn on Christmas Day, report news sources.

The New York City medical examiner did not reveal the cause of death. Previn had been ailing for a decade, suffering from AIDS-related illnesses.

Patrick Farrow, a sculptor, was found dead in his art gallery, Farrow Gallery and StudiosIt is now confirmed that Patrick Farrow's death was a suicide.  Police had originally called the circumstances of Farrow's death "suspicious" leading conspiracy theorists to speculated that Mia Farrow may be cursed.

The body of Farrow's older brother, 66, was found in response to an emergency call in the Farrow Gallery in Castleton, Vt. An autopsy will determine the cause of death, which one Vermont police officer described as "suspicious."

Mia Farrow rose to fame as the star of the horror classic Rosemary's Baby and has 14 children both adopted and natural.  One of her adopted daughters, Soon-Yi Previn was the subject of a scandal when she had an affair with Mia Farrow's then partner, Woody Allen.  Soon-Yi has since married Woody Allen and they have two adopted daughters together.

Mia Farrow does NOT have 35 children.

She bore four children (three by Andre Previn, one by Woody Allen) and adopted eight (three with Previn, two with Allen, three on  her own).

Of those 12 children, twohave died: two daughters, Lark Song Previn and Tam Farrow,  leaving her with 10 surviving children:

Matthew Phineas, Sascha Villiers, Fletcher, Soon-Yi and Summer Song ("Daisy") Previn; Satchal O'Sullivan Farrow (now called Seamus), Moses Amadeus Farrow (adopted with Allen) and Dylan O'Sullivan Farrow (called Malone, adopted with Allen); Isaiah Farrow, Keili-Shea Farrow and Gabriel Wilk Farrow.

Thank you, that was my mistake. 35 is the age Lark Previn was when she died and I mistyped.  It has been changed.
