Scott Ruffalo: The Unsolved Death Of An Avengers' Brother.

Scott Ruffalo was described as charming, spirited, had a wonderful sense of humor and he was daring. He was great with women and devoured life.  He was always willing to help those in need, he was a beautiful guy.  

Scott was born on February 1st, 1969 in Wisconsin to Frank Lawrence Ruffalo and Marie Rose Hebert. Frank was a construction painter and Marie was a hair dresser and stylist. His brother is actor Mark Ruffalo.

Mark and Scott were little they dug a 20-foot koi pond, lily pads and everything in South Central L.A.

While in their late teens, Mark and Scott, moved to Los Angeles, where they lived in a $600-a-month apartment by MacArthur Park, sharing a full-size bed. Mark recalled how he and his brother got by during those times while he auditioned for roles and Scott just getting started as a hairdresser.

“He’d make a f–king giant bowl of tuna pasta, and we’d eat off that all week long,” he said. “The best of times, the worst of times.”

No matter the situation, Mark and his brother always knew had to make the best it, no matter how bad and, like with the rest of their family, still had each other’s back.

By 2008, Scott was well-known and successful hairdresser, he had worked at salons in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, including the Giuseppe Franco Salon in Beverly Hills. He had held a license in cosmetology since 1991 and in 2001, set up his own corporation, Ruff Inc. that takes in his lucrative income as a hairstylist. Many of Scott's clients were celebrities and royalty from around the world. Besides famous clientele Scott would also give free haircuts to struggling actors and style wigs for cancer patients free of charge.

In December 1st, 2008, 39 year old Scott was married, but he lived alone in an apartment in Beverly Hills. At 1:10 a.m. a man called 911 and told them Scott had been shot in his own apartment. When the police and paramedics arrived, Scott was alone, sitting on a chair, a gun in his left hand and he was bleeding from a bullet wound in his forehead. He was still alive so he was rushed to the hospital. Scott slipped into a coma and, on December 8th, his family pulled the plug and he passed away.

When police reviewed security footage from Scott's apartment building there were two people seen leaving his apartment a few minutes before the police and paramedics arrived. 
  With further investigation they learned that the two people were the daughter of wealthy Saudi businessman named Shaha Mishaal Adham and her boyfriend Brian Scofield. The couple turned themselves in a week after the shooting. Adham was booked on suspicion of attempted murder and initially held without bail. She was released late the next day.

 Adham claimed that she and another man in the apartment found Scott on the couch bleeding from the left side of his head, the gun in his left hand. She was at Scott's apartment to pick up the keys to her Range Rover when Scott mentioned something about "Russian roulette." Then she heard a gunshot. This is when she called Scofield. Scofield called 911 as Adham and the other man left.

Later, Scott's death was ruled as a homicide until proven otherwise. Scott's head wound showed that he was shot on the back left side of his head and from above. The gun had all the bullets, expect the one that was fired, in it. And his toxicology reports came back with minimal cocaine in his system, suggesting that he was sober at the time of the shooting.

 Shaha Mishaal Adham died January 6th, 2012 after being admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after a possible overdose.
When Mark first read the script for 2010's The Kids Are All Right, he instantly connected with the character because it reminded him of Scott.
