Robert F. Kennedy Junior’s estranged wife, Mary, who battled her husband’s rumored philandering by turning to alcohol and prescription drugs, hanged herself at her home in New York, aged 52.
Plus, her death is the latest in a long line of tragedies to plague the Kennedy clan. The architect and designer had four children with Kennedy, the son of the late Senator Robert F Kennedy and nephew of President John F Kennedy. He is a prominent New York environmentalist and lawyer.
According to statement issued by Mary Kennedy’s family said: “We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her.” In a statement released by Kennedy chief-of-staff, the family said she “inspired our family with her kindness, her love, her gentle soul and generous spirit”.
The statement further read “Mary was a genius at friendship, a tremendously gifted architect and a pioneer and relentless advocate of green design who enhanced her cutting edge, energy efficient creations with exquisite taste and style.”
Adding up, officials said Mary Kennedy, who had fought drug and alcohol problems, was discovered by police in a building at the Kennedy property in Mount Kisco. Her lawyer said the couple had filed for divorce in 2010, but it was never finalised.
