Cause of Daniel Kerrigan's death under investigation.

Sunday cops arrived to the home of Nancy Kerrigan's parents in Boston to find Kerrigan's 70-year-old father unresponsive. It's said he'd been involved in a physical altercation with Kerrigan's 45-year-old brother Mark, and photogs have caught shots of Mark leaving the house in handcuffs.

Nancy Kerrigan, the 40-year-old former Olympic ice skater who was believed to have been attacked by fellow skater Tanya Harding in 1994, lives but 10 minutes from the scene of the incident, which is the home where it's said she grew up. Kerrigan is now a mother of two sons and a daughter, and is married to her former agent Jerry Solomon. At press time there was no word from Kerrigan's camp on her reaction to her father's death.

Our friends at TMZ have reported the following: "...during the Sunday incident, there was a struggle between Daniel and Mark in the kitchen area of the home. Details of the fight are sketchy at best -- but Mark was eventually arrested and charged with assault and battery on an elder with serious bodily injury." When authorities arrived to the Kerrigans' home, they shuttled him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

However in an update, Nancy Kerrigan's mother told the Boston Herald, "My husband had a massive heart attack," and "This is a very difficult time for me."

Mark Kerrigan is scheduled to appear in court sometime Monday, it's reported. Stay with LimeLife for details.
