Actor Mark Ruffalo Thanks Fans for "Outpouring of Prayers"

"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 statement read.
The family said the funeral service would be private.
Meanwhile, police have cleared 26-year-old suspect Shaha Mishaal Adham after it was determined Tuesday that Scott's wound was self-inflicted, her attorney said. (A second "person of interest" has also been cleared.)
Attorney Ronald Richards told The Associated Press that he provided evidence proving that Adham did not shoot Scott Ruffalo early Dec. 1 and that she merely witnessed the hairdresser playing a game of Russian Roulette.
"This was an accidental shooting by someone that plays with guns," Richards said.
Adham, a friend of Scott Ruffalo's, had gone to the hairdresser's condo to retrieve keys to her sport utility vehicle, then fled the scene.
"A series of wrong decisions, starting with her not staying at the scene of the shooting, caused an incredible chain reaction of stupidity and bad luck," Richards told the AP.
More details are to be released Wednesday.
The Ruffalo family has announced the creation of a fund in honor of Scott.
Donations can be sent to:
Scott Ruffalo, Family Fund
c/o Altman Greenfield & Selvaggi, CPA's
200 Park Avenue South 8th Floor
New York, NY 10003

GoddessThe girl probably panicked or she was high! Either way the entire thing is sad!! And yes, unfortunately people still play Russian Roulette!! She probably thought he was already dead! Not that I'm defending her stupidity. But I know that would have freaked me out! They'd have found me passed out on the floor behind that ordeal! Or catatonic! I'd be in the nut house right nowreport abuseposted December 10, 2008 8:12 AM PST

maxThere is nothing sad about this at all. I am just thankful he had not bred yet. This guy should be nominated for the Darwin Award! I am sure Ruffalo will become a fervent anti-gun lobbyist now. What a waste of good organs. Man I hope someone got his heart and liver. Moron.report abuseposted December 10, 2008 7:48 AM PST
