Police were stationed outside the home of 91-year-old Ethel Kennedy on Thursday night, hours after paramedics responded to reports of an “unattended death” at her family's Hyannis Port, MA compound.
A family statement had confirmed earlier that Saoirse Kennedy Hill, the 22-year-old granddaughter of Ethel and the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, had died at the home, though no cause of death was disclosed. A report in The New York Times, however, said the daughter of Courtney Kennedy Hill -- one of Robert and Ethel Kennedy's 11 children -- had died of an apparent drug overdose.
"The world is a little less beautiful today," Ethel Kennedy was quoted as saying in the family statement.
Saoirse (Sur-sha) Kennedy Hill was a student at Boston College and was expected to graduate in 2020, the Boston Globe reported.
Her father was Paul Michael Hill, one of four defendants falsely convicted in connection with bombings attributed to the Irish Republican Army in 1974.
The circumstances of the death were not immediately known. The case was being investigated by Barnstable police and detectives from the Massachusetts State Police, according to the Globe.
It was the latest in a string of tragedies for one of America's most prominent political families.
Robert F. Kennedy was fatally shot just over 50 years ago after he won the California presidential primary on June 6, 1968.
His death while running for president came just five years after the nation was thrust into mourning when President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed by a gunman in Dallas in November 1963.
Their deaths followed those of their siblings Joseph Kennedy Jr., who was killed in August 1944 during World War II at age 29, and Kathleen Kennedy, who died in a plane crash in France in May 1948 at age 28.

Has there ever been a more reckless American family?
Kennedys. Can’t drive, can’t ski, can’t fly, can’t party, Yet they are still being elected
Q: How many Kennedys does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Seven. One to hold the bulb and six to drink until the room spins.
they must mean great grandaughter ....ethel is 91 ..this girl is 22 ..mayb its robert kennedy jrsgrand daughter
Yes they are reckless.
When you consider events such as Chappaquiddick, the William Kennedy Smith rape case, JFK Jr. flying his plane in unsafe conditions, the Kennedy who died of a drug overdose, the Kennedy who died skiing into a tree — some of the “tragedies” of the Kennedys are self inflicted.
Right around the 50th anniversary of Chappaquiddick. Things that make you go HMMMM...
“Has there ever been a more reckless American family?”
The Bush’s?
I’m more inclined to say “most” are self-inflicted.
When I first saw mention of an unidentified woman dying at the Kennedy compound, I assumed she was a guest of one of the male members of the family. Good to see that I was wrong.
They made a deal with the Devil.
Did they find her in an Oldsmobile?
Well....
IMO JFK Jr was probably offed by hillary.
He would have been a shoe in for that senate seat.
This was the biggest of the Kennedy family tragedies, at least from the point of view of America:
Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.
Date of birth: September 6, 1888
Place of birth: Boston, MA
Looks like the media is starting to clean it up.
But there are about 100 living descendants of Joseph and Rose Kennedy. If you do the math, one overdose death in a family that size over a 20 year period is in line with the 70k ODs the nation experienced last year. Thus, this drug overdose of a young woman probably says more about the current state of society than it does about the Kennedys.
There are plenty of problems people can have with the Kennedys. Let's take that up with them. As for this woman, Requiescat in pace
Now that statement is accurate.
daughter of Courtney Kennedy Hill — one of Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s 11 children — had died of an apparent drug overdose.
Life can be short and deadly if one has Kennedy DNA and is raised by Kennedy’s.
No neck brace on this one.
