Macaulay Culkin‘s sister died Wednesday after being struck by a car. Dakota Culkin, 29, was walking in Los Angeles Tuesday when she stepped off a curb and was struck by a car. She was taken to the UCLA Medical Center where she died of her injuries the next day. “The driver stopped, rendered aid, and identified himself as required by law,” LAPD spokesman Richard French said. “Detectives determined that the driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and that no crime was committed.” Macaulay Culkin, 28, is the third of seven siblings. Besides Maucauley, Dakota is survived by Shane, 32, Kieran, 26, Quinn, 24, Christian, 21, and Rory, 19.  An official statement from Macaulay’s rep states: “We can officially confirm that the victim is Dakota Culkin. This is a terrible tragic accident. We have no further comment at this time.”
