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.

The death jolted a family long haunted by tragedy.

Very unusual first name

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I looked up the pronunciation - I was curious:

seer-sha
seer - rhymes with CLEAR [Some folks do ‘sair’ - rhymes with ‘hair’]
sha - rhymes with HUH

Tragic yes but how many die every day from overdoses? I get weary of the different treatment the ruling class gets when tragedy hits them.

The same Joe who had his daughter Rose Marie “Rosemary” Kennedy given a lobotomy for being an embarassment?

The very same.

That's Rosemary, the victim, standing in the back on the left. Ted the future lush is on Daddy Joe's lap.

Lovely family, the Kennedys...

Not a good thing for any young person to die.

My condolences to them.

But I am of the generation that was inundated...daily, constantly, over and over with all kinds of Kennedy shit...so my empathy for that family is kinda at a low level.

In 15-20 years, it's gonna be the same damn thing with the stinking obama family.

Mark my words.

(Although I don't think anyone in that family drives an Oldsmobile, do they?)

Being above the law sometimes has its own costs.

The rules of man may not apply to the Kennedy crime family, but the laws of nature do.

Track down the drug and you’ll probably find it came across the Mexican “border”. Every class, race and gender suffers the effects of democrat policy.

We were just talking about the “babysitter” scandal. My son knew the babysitter quite well and my daughter was friendly with the whole family. Both of my sons have serious doubts that Michael Kennedy’s skiing accident was really an accident. The girl’s father is quite wealthy and well connected and they think the “accident” was arranged.

The “something” that an adict tries to escape may be nothingingness, a feeling that their life is empty. This would be why drugs are so hard to leave behind if they fill that void.

It was her choice not to rise above it.

Well said. I had a friend who was involved in the Michael Kennedy Smith trial. Without giving too many details, I will say that this person was a witness for the prosecution. This person had experienced a devastating personal loss - the worse kind a parent could experience. The Kennedy lawyer tried to use that loss as a means to impugn the character of the witness as if the experience would cause them to have an automatic bias against Kennedy. Now, I realize that it was the lawyer doing it but had it been me discussing strategy with my attorney, that would have been off limits.

Unrelated to the above but whenever the Kennedy’s come up I’m always reminded of something about the Kennedy Palm Beach estate....it was (don’t know if it ever changed) nothing to write home about. No central air and the furnishing were pretty shabby. I found it interesting that, like the Kennedys, the exterior facade belied the interior degradation.

Or using an hour after getting into rehab. Those places can have more drugs than a street corner.
