The Connecticut state medical examiner's office found that, the 27-year-old, paraplegic son of actress Mia Farrow shot himself in the torso before being found in his vehicle along a Connecticut road.

The authorities ruled the death of Thaddeus Wilk Farrow, a suicide.

According to the state police, Thaddeus Farrow was found in his vehicle Wednesday afternoon in Roxbury, about 8 miles from his mother's home in neighbouring Bridgewater,  with a life-threatening injury and was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

The actress adopted Thaddeus Farrow, who contracted polio in an orphanage in Kolkata, India, and was paralyzed from the waist down.

Mia Farrow has 11 living children four biological and seven adopted. Thaddeus’ reported death would be the third adopted child she has lost.

The Fox News reported, Thaddeus Farrow spoke about being adopted Mia in a 2013 interview, that, "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.”

Mia Farrow wrote in a Twitter posting on Thursday that her family is devastated by Thaddeus' death.

"He was a wonderful, courageous person who overcame so much hardship in his short life," she wrote. "We miss him. Thank you for the outpouring of condolences and words of kindness."

In 2000, Thaddeus Farrow and his mother participated in a global summit on polio eradication at the United Nations in New York.

"If people could follow Thaddeus through just one day of his life and see just how hard it is for him, I think there would be no abstainees in saying 'let there be no more polio,'" Mia Farrow said at the time.
