Electra's depressed half-brother commits suicide
03/11/2005 - 11:16:45The half-brother of pin-up Carmen Electra has committed suicide at his home in Florida.
Rod Mark, 43, shot himself through the heart last week after losing a battle with depression.
The tragedy is the latest in a long line of family deaths for Electra - her mother and sister died within a month of each other in 1998.
The model-turned-actress, who hardly knew Mark, says: "I was sad to hear the news. My heart goes out to his family."
Electra, whose real name in Tara Patrick, and Mark had different fathers.
