Moreover, authorities have informed that the driver had not used alcohol or drugs before having got behind the wheel and that they had concluded he had not broken any laws.

Michelle Bega, Macaulay Culkin’s spokeswoman, said the woman’s family had nothing to comment in the matter.

This tragic event adds to a series of such incidents involving actors’ families, after Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were shot to death by her brother-in-law William Balfour and Mark Ruffalo’s brother Scott died Monday night, one week after he had accidentally shot himself while playing with a gun.

Kieran, 26, and Rory, 19, are both actors, the former having received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his role in the 2002 movie „Igby Goes Down.”
