CLEVELAND -- Perry Kucinich, brother of U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, was found dead Wednesday morning at his east-side home.

Perry Kucinich was found face down by another brother, Larry Kucinich, at about 9 a.m.

Larry Kucinich had taken his brother shopping Tuesday and then took him home but couldn't get an answer when he tried calling him Wednesday, said Powell Caesar, spokesman for the coroner.

Perry Kucinich was an artist and some of his works have been on display at a local art gallery.

"He was an admirer of the works of Klee and Picasso, and the style and structure of his artwork derived from their influences," Kucinich said. "He was a genius. He had extraordinary insights. Although he struggled with mental illness, with the help of his family and friends, he was able to lead a productive life."

The county coroner said that an autopsy is set to be performed to determine the exact cause of death.

There were no signs of foul play.

Rep. Kucinich, who represents the 10th Congressional District, is in Washington, D.C., and his spokesman said he is on his way home to Cleveland.

There are seven children in the Kucinich family.
