Shah's daughter laid to rest
The younger son of the Shah of Iran, Alireza Pahlavi, has killed himself in the US after a long battle with depression, his family says.
His brother, former crown prince Reza Pahlavi, said the family had been thrown into "great sorrow" by the news.
"It is with immense grief that we would like to inform our compatriots of the passing away of Prince Alireza Pahlavi," a family statement said.
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was ousted in Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution.
The police in Boston said Alireza Pahlavi, 44, had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
