Did You Know: Marvin Gaye
June 18, 2007 by Jo Minor
Did you know that legendary Motown singer Marvin Gaye was murdered by his own father? This incident became one of the most, if not the most documented case of filicide; a case of parent or parents taking the lives of their own offspring.
The singer was going through bouts of depression and was suffering from substance abuse as well. After a prolonged and heated argument with his father that somehow got physical, Gaye Sr. decided to take the life of his own son. A man was forced to take the life of his own child, and the world was robbed of one of its brightest singers.
