No details yet, but KFI just gave a very brief report on their bottom of the hour news. Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, has been reported dead by the LAPD.
Who is Sean Penn?
Wasn't he a singer? I think he had a hit song back in the 1990's, but I may be thinking of someone else.
That would be a shame if true. I would not wish this even on Sean Penn, who was once married to Madonna and has suffered enough.
As much as I dislike Sean Penn, I am not going to pick this occasion to verbally cap on him. Bad to lose family.
Oh Man......
It don't matter what their politics. It hurts to lose a loved one.
I liked him in Corky Romano.
Wonder what happened?

That is a shame, then. Sean Penn might be unpleasant to say the least, but I still hate to see this happen.
He was good in Reservoir Dogs, Rush Hour, and Footloose. Was never more than a small character actor but a good one.
Yes, a prayer for his soul and for his family.
Thanks for the info. I loved that song.
