Scott Ruffalo’s death has been ruled a homicide, according to the L.A. County Coroner’s Office.

Evidence shows that Ruffalo did not die while playing Russian Roulette, he was instead shot by another person.

Shaha Mishaal Adham, 26, who claims to have been there when it happened, has told her attorney and the media that Scott died while playing the deadly firearm game. She was arrested, questioned and later released by police.

Scott was only 39.

Police have not revealed a motive at this time.

You can bet Shaha knows something – or even did it. And I would bet it all has something to do with cocaine..

Just a hunch.

Mark Ruffalo’s Brother Died Playing Russian Roulette [Updated]

The woman considered to be a suspect in the shooting death of Scott Ruffalo is claiming he died while playing Russian Roulette.

Shaha Adham, 26, turned herself in Monday after a warrant for her arrest had been issued.

Police knew Shaha and ‘person of interest’ Brian Scofield, 29, were there that night because they were on surveillance video at the condominium.

Adham’s attorney, Ronald Richards, says that his client is innocent and that Scott was under the influence of cocaine when the incident happened. He also claims Scott was a frequent user of the drug and liked to play with firearms while loaded.

Richards said,

“We expect the coroners report to show the shooting was a result of the victim’s chronic playing of Russian Roulette and his dangerous playing with firearms while under the use of controlled substances.”

“My client was a good friend of the victim and is very sad for the loss of his family. However, she played no role whatsoever in his accidental death.”

He added that Adham was there when Scott supposedly shot himself.

“I can confirm that my client was present when Mr. Ruffalo shot himself. She was picking up some keys.”

The investigation is ongoing.

I am very suspicious about this story being as she was supposedly there, and witnessed a horrifying event, but yet failed to go to police or call 911 immediately after? Or even days later..?

Hmm..something’s fishy.

[UPDATE: Shaha has been cleared as a suspect. Although she fled the scene, police believe it was because she was traumatized. Her attorney stated, "There will be no criminal filing at this time regarding this matter, and Shaha Mishaal Adham will hopefully rebuild her tarnished reputation."]
