Actress Mia Farrow’s son Thaddeus was pronounced dead after being found in his car with life-threatening injuries on Wednesday in Roxbury, Connecticut. Law enforcement does not suspect foul play. He was 27 years old.

Farrow adopted Thaddeus, a paraplegic, from Calcutta, India, in 1994 following her divorce from director Woody Allen. In a 2013 feature in Vanity Fair, the Farrow family spoke at length to Maureen Orth about Thaddeus.

“I witnessed a real example of redemption one day at Frog Hollow when Thaddeus came to visit,” Orth wrote. “As a paraplegic in Calcutta, he was discarded in a railway station and forced to crawl on his hands and stubs of legs to beg for food. Later, at an orphanage, he was chained to a post, and kids would throw rocks at him to prompt the mannish growls he made. When Mia saw him, she says, she had a powerful reaction: ‘That’s my son.’”

Orth continued:

Mia thought he was 5, but when doctors examined his teeth, they determined he was 12. He was so filled with rage that he would bite Mia and try to pull her hair out. But she taught him that even if he could not choose how he was born he could choose how to behave. He shared a room with Isaiah, who describes him as “the hidden gem of the family. He is such a hard worker.”

Thaddeus also spoke to Orth about his experiences coming into the family. “It was scary to be brought to a world of people whose language I did not understand, with different skin colors,” he said. “The fact that everyone loved me was a new experience, overwhelming at first.”

He showed promise as a mechanic, but moved toward a career in law enforcement in his early twenties. Orth explained:

Last Christmas he came home after spending a year living in upstate New York, losing weight, doing odd jobs. A girlfriend had started taking him to church, he said, and he had a spiritual awakening. He became a Good Samaritan, stopping to help people stranded along the roadside change their tires. He decided he wanted to work in law enforcement and talked his way into a criminal-justice program at a junior college. “You’re an inspiration,” the officer in charge told him.

Thaddeus himself told Orth, “I came back at Christmastime to tell Mia, ‘I know I never really said thank you, Mom.’ I just let out emotions I would never let myself express. Finally I was able to.”

Thaddeus is the third of Farrow’s 14 children to die. Tam died of heart failure in 2000 and Lark, the first child adopted by Mia Farrow and her former husband André Previn, died in 2008. Farrow has not released a statement, but Vanity Fair will update this article with any new information that becomes available.
