Figure skater Nancy Kerrigan’s brother was charged with manslaughter in the death of their 70-year-old father yesterday. Prosecutors said Mark Kerrigan, 45, killed his father, Daniel Kerrigan, during a drunken rage over the use of the family telephone. Kerrigan was indicted by a Middlesex Superior Court grand jury in the January death of his father. He had already been charged with assault and battery on an elderly person resulting in serious bodily injury. Since being released on bail after a psychiatric evaluation, he has been living with his mother in the family’s Stoneham home, where the alleged assault took place. Members of the Kerrigan family have insisted they do not blame Mark for the death of Daniel, who had a pre-existing heart condition. They said in a statement yesterday that they were “deeply disappointed” in the manslaughter charge.
