SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Santa Monica police said there are no obvious signs of foul play in the death of actor Chris Penn, the brother of Sean Penn.
Santa Monica police Captain Ed Winter said Penn was found Tuesday in bed inside a four-story condominium complex near the beach on Ocean Avenue.
Sean Penn's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, issued a statement saying, "The Penn family would appreciate the media's respect of their privacy during this difficult time."
Chris Penn's credits include "Mulholland Falls," "Rumble Fish," "All the Right Moves," "Footloose" and "Rush Hour." His latest film, "The Darwin Awards," is scheduled to premiere Wednesday at the Sundance Film Festival.
Authorities said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
