The Kennedy Curse Continues

The most recent chapter in the ongoing curse of the Kennedy family. It seems like every time you turn around one of them is either dying or being associated with someone else's death.  What a completely tragic family.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s estranged wife, Mary, who battled her husband’s rumored philandering by turning to alcohol and prescription drugs, hanged herself in a barn on their Westchester estate yesterday, sources told The Post.
The 52-year-old mother of four — the latest victim of a family dynasty cursed with tragedies — may have taken her own life because she was haunted by her broken marriage, her friends lamented.
“She was deeply troubled, abusing alcohol and prescription meds,” a close family friend said. “She had cause. She was used up and tossed away by Bobby. That was awful.”
SAD SPIRAL: Mary Richardson Kennedy (above, in the home where she died) was found at this Mount Kisco estate. Her ups and downs included time with her family in 2008 and an appearance at a Westchester court in 2010 after a DWI arrest.
Officials refused to elaborate on her death and said it would be investigated with the Westchester Medical Examiner’s Office.
Bedford police responded at 1:36 p.m. to a report of a “possible unattended death” — meaning there were no witnesses — at the estate.

After authorities arrived, they cut her down and tried to revive her. She was found by a housekeeper, ABC News reported.
Mary was found “inside an out-building on that property,” police said in a statement.
She left behind a note, and none of her children were home at the time, sources said.
There are several sheds behind the home — some hold garden tools and another is a falcon house — on a slope leading to a lake.
The Kennedy family dealt stoically with the latest in the long line of shocking deaths.
“We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her,” the family said in a statement.
