Within the past few days, an investigation into whether Brad Pitt was abusive toward his teenage son was closed with no findings of abuse, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press Wednesday.

The investigation by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services focused on an incident on a private airplane in September; days later, Angelina Jolie-Pitt filed for divorce from her husband of two years. The department would not confirm with AP if Pitt was being investigated.
