Vermont State Police and a spokeswoman for Mia Farrow say the actress' brother killed himself at his art gallery. Sixty-six-year-old Patrick Farrow died of a single gunshot wound to the head. His body was found late Monday in his studio, a converted church in the small town of Castleton.

Police say the medical examiner's finding of suicide is consistent with evidence found at the scene.

On Tuesday, Vermont State Police Lt. Timothy Oliver had called the death suspicious in a written statement, but he never elaborated on the comment.

Laura Berwick, who is Mia Farrow's manager, says Patrick Farrow was a beloved brother, husband, father, uncle and grandfather and that the family is grieving.

The Farrow Gallery is described on its Web site as selling jewelry and mixed-media works of art. It's owned and operated by Patrick Farrow and his wife, artist Susan Farrow.

(FILES) -- File picture dated July 25, 2008 shows US activist and actress Mia Farrow at a press briefing at the FCCT (Foreign Corespondant Club of Thailand) in Bangkok. Farrow is to start a hunger strike next week in a bid to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn Darfur region of Sudan, a statement on the actress's website said on April 23, 2009. The 64-year-old actress said from April 27, she would begin a water-only fast as a gesture of solidarity and as "a personal expression of outrage" at deaths from starvation, thirst and disease in Darfur.
