BOSTON -- Joan Kennedy, the former wife of U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, was hospitalized with a concussion and a broken shoulder early Tuesday morning after a passer-by found her lying in a Boston street, said her son, U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy.
Joan Bennett Kennedy, former wife of Sen. Edward Kennedy Kennedy, 68, was taken to Tufts New England Medical Center at about 3 a.m. on Tuesday, said Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I.
"We're indebted to some anonymous pedestrian who found her and picked her up and got her help," Patrick Kennedy told the Boston Herald. "I'm enormously grateful for whoever it is out there who did that. She wouldn't be here in this hospital, recuperating, if that person hadn't called and gotten someone to come."
Patrick Kennedy was somber and visibly shaken at the hospital and said he was "very concerned" for the welfare of his mother, according to the newspaper.
Details of exactly what happened and how she ended up in the street were unclear. There was no police report on the incident. Joan Kennedy, who splits time between a home on Cape Cod and a Boston condominium, has struggled with alcoholism in the past.

This is so sad. She was a beautiful, nice girl from a nice middle class background who wound up in that cursed family.

Patrick better get her into an institution quick. They better keep her away from any publishers. Imagine all the things she knows about the Kennedy clan.

"When things like this happen, it makes you feel as though maybe you should have done more to make sure there is someone with her 24/7 and perhaps that might become necessary."
Gee, Patrick, ya think?
