2ND BODY IS WIFE OF DIANA ROSS' BROTHER

Motown superstar Diana Ross got confirmation Wednesday of what she and other relatives had feared since hearing of her younger brother Arthur's slaying.

The second body found Saturday in an Oak Park home was his wife, Patricia Ann Robinson, 54, formerly of Los Angeles, police said. Arthur Ross, 47, and Robinson had been living in Detroit in recent weeks.

Robinson and Ross were found a few feet apart in the basement of the home. Police declined to provide details about how they were killed or what was found at the scene, but said both had been suffocated the same way.
