LOS ANGELES — Farrah Fawcett’s son, Redmond O’Neal, learned of his mother’s death while serving time in the L.A. County jail. Officials sent a chaplain and a grief counselor, accompanied by a sheriff’s deputy, to break the news, according to L.A. County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore.
“He’s doing well, considering the circumstances,” Whitmore said.
O’Neal will be allowed to attend his mother’s funeral, he added. A similar court-approved visit was allowed when Fawcett fell ill in April.
O’Neal, 24, whose father is actor Ryan O’Neal, was arrested in April on charges of trying to smuggle drugs into a county jail, the latest in a string of drug-related arrests.
