Nancy Kerrigan's brother is on trial for killing their father, Daniel Kerrigan, and the jury deliberated for 4 1/2 hours on Monday but went home without a verdict.

A spokesperson for Bridgewater State Hospital told RadarOnline.com: “We can confirm that Mark Kerrigan is still here under evaluation.”

The army veteran has spent the past 10 days in the state hospital after officials deemed he was a potential danger to himself. He allegedly attacked his father Daniel Kerrigan at the family’s home in Stoneham, Mass. The 70-year-old subsequently died of a massive heart attack.

Nancy Kerrigan's Brother Has Violent Past

Mark was not permitted to attend his father’s funeral at St Patrick’s Church which was attended by hundreds of mourners including his famous Olympic skater sister Nancy, their heart-broken mom Brenda and brother Michael. The troubled 45-year old – who has battled substance abuse and mental illness for years and spent time in jail for violent crimes – pled not guilty to assault and battery charges but could face more serious ones if the alleged attack on his father is directly linked to his death.
