Robert F. Kennedy’s granddaughter reportedly died of an apparent drug overdose at the family’s Cape Cod compound on Thursday — the latest in a long line of tragedies to rock the storied family.
Saoirse Kennedy Hill, 22, was staying at the sprawling Hyannis Port, Mass., home of her grandmother, 91-year-old Ethel Kennedy, RFK’s widow.
By the time medics arrived to the Marchant Avenue mansion at about 2:30 p.m., the young Kennedy was already in cardiac arrest, the Hyannis News reported.
She was rushed to Cape Cod Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The New York Times said the suspected cause was an overdose, but an investigation by Barnstable police is ongoing.

So true. The addict in our family did rehab at least four times, a couple of times at some very exclusive places (Sharon Stone was once a ‘classmate’). It seems to have finally taken as he’s been clean and sober for four years now. He’s in his sixties and it’s truly a miracle he’s still alive with all the abuse he subjected himself to. We all joke he’s going to outlive us all.
Supposedly the older daughter - Sasquatch? Malaria? - is quite the party girl.
Because scolding is what most posters on this forum do
They live for it
It’s very Scarlet Letter-ish around here
That and not reading the article
It used to be that aping the PC mantra over race and bigotry was the most obnoxious characteristic of this austere body
That ship sailed thank God
Seems like an overkill cures and I’ve never known a rabbi who fancied himself a sorcerer
Patty is the leftwing daughter. Maureen the Republican, conservative at times. Michael is a loudmouth NeverTrumper, a GOP establishment hack living off his dad”s name. Ron Jr is a leftist like Patty.
Ironic how both of Reagan’s natural children are leftwing. And not likable. I always had doubts about Michael and if you’ve heard him recently he’s as nasty a NeverTrumper as any of that crowd.
How many fatal decisions does it take, for one family’s descendants to wise up?
Evidently, at least one more.
Sorry to hear of this. Ethyl has been through hell.
Maybe the Kennedy’s should attend some special classes or something.
I guess Michael could not fake it any more concerning his hate for Trump, lol.
I don’t follow him, but it seemed he was ok with Trump when I saw him on the tube about a year ago.
No one appreciates sobriety more than a recovering addict. I personally thank God every morning that I am not hungover.;-) What a wonderful feeling it is to be stone cold sober.
I just repeat the legend as told me. Don’t know if or what happened. I wasn’t on the boat.
