Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s estranged wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, was found dead Wednesday afternoon, according to media reports. She was 52.
TMZ was the first to report Kennedy’s death in Bedford, N.Y. at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s property, north of New York City.
The cause of death was not immediately known, though Radar Online reported it was a suicide.
An attorney confirmed to the Associated Press Mary Kennedy had died; he said he didn’t know the cause of her death.
The couple were married in 1994. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, filed for divorce in 2010.
Three days after the split, Mary Kennedy was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. She pleaded guilty, and was arrested again the following month and charged with driving under the influence of drugs, the Associated Press reported.
Mary Kennedy was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s second wife; they had four children together.

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 7:56pmNo, don’t make Oldsmobiles anymore! Most likely a Chevy Volt! Knew too much about RFk’ Jr”s past. Those darn Kennedys are good at taking out distractions that might derail their political ambitions!

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 6:22pmWho cares???? way more important stories this is drama thats it folks. The Kennedy’s days of glory should have never been. What about the illegal confiscation of our Constitution? what about the illegal NDAA act? what about fast and furious? how about the welfare fraud gone rampant especially in Commufornia? what about the Russian SF in Colorado? you get the point? don’t forget we are months away from a planned CRISIS I would think we should be focussed on the real issues not the long lost relative of a neighbor who once date a famous person.

Posted on May 17, 2012 at 4:49pmYes, it’s terribly sad when anyone feels so bereft in their life that they need to end it.
It just goes to show that no matter how much money, power etc. you have, the real need people have is love.
I think for those who are taking cheap shots at this woman’s death, think seriously about what you are doing.

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 6:14pmSorry but the truth is there is no dynasty so hostile to women as the Kennedy clan. Surprise? No–they kill the women they sleep with more frequency than they win elections. But oh let us all hail the American Camelot. Oh don’t we all remember where we were when….I suspect that the worst thing that ever happened to the USA was the canonization of this President. It created an ugly royalty in America, and they have gotten away with the murder of women ever since. What a wonderful legacy, all hail the Kennedy clan, that’s what America is all about. The burka looks good about now, huh

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 6:13pmkarma? naah. this family leaves a trail of dead, battered, alcoholic, destroyed and or otherwise maimed women. and, every time it happens, the great unwashed feels sympathy for the ‘family’. women’s groups adore them because of their support for killing babies. the entire troupe is trash worshiped for the myths they perpetuate about themselves. it would be a great day if they ALL went away….if for no other reason there won’t be anymore dead women.
