Мери Кенеди открита мъртва


Съпругата на племенника на президента на САЩ Джон Кенеди – Робърт Ф. Кенеди-младши е открита мъртва в дома си в щата Ню Йорк, съобщи Би Би Си.

52-годишната Мери Кенеди не живееше със съпруга си, но двамата официално не бяха разведени.

Не се съобщават причините за смъртта й, макар че според американски журналисти жената е била открита обесена.

Мери и Робърт Ф. Кенеди се женят през 1994 г. Имат четири деца. През 2010 г. Робърт Кенеди подаде документи за развод.

След раздялата им Мери Кенеди на два пъти беше арестувана за шофиране в нетрезво състояние. Попадала е в полезрението на органите на реда за пиянство и злоупотреба с наркотици.

„Дълбоко скърбим заради смъртта на нашата любима сестра Мери. На тези, които я обичаха, силно ще им липсва нейният жив и творчески дух“, се казва в изявление на роднини на Мери Кенеди.

Американската полиция потвърди, че в имението на Кенеди в град Бедфорд близо до Ню Йорк е било открито тяло. Правоохранителните органи обаче не съобщават самоличността.

Днес предстои да бъде направена аутопсия. Полицията проучва обстоятелствата около случилото се.

Робърт Ф. Кенеди е адвокат и радиоводещ. Той е син на сенатора Робърт Кенеди и племенник на президента на САЩ Джон Ф.

Кенеди, който беше застрелян през 60-те години.
Според "Гардиан" тя е имала и проблеми с алкохола:
The family of Mary Kennedy has paid tribute to her "kindness, love, gentle soul and generous spirit" after she was found dead at her home in Bedford, New York, on Wednesday.

Mary Richardson Kennedy, 52, the estranged wife of Robert F Kennedy Jr, had suffered from drug and alcohol problems for years.

She was a longtime connection of the Kennedy clan. In 1994 she married Robert Kennedy Jr, a prominent environmental lawyer, son of former senator Robert F Kennedy and nephew of former president John F Kennedy. The couple had four children, the youngest born in July 2001.

Robert Kennedy Jr has two children from a previous marriage.

Mary Kennedy was an architect and designer and had overseen the renovation of the couple's home into an environmentally advanced showpiece. Her family cited her devotion to her children in remembering her.

In a statement issued by Robert Kennedy Jr's chief of staff, the family said Mary Kennedy 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".

"We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her," her family said. "Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation."

The premature death of another person connected to the Kennedy clan recalled the other sorrows the famous family has suffered. An autopsy for the 52-year-old has been scheduled for Thursday. No cause of death had been released.

At the family home on Wednesday, a red brick mansion with a columned porch entrance set in heavily wooded acreage, police kept media away.

Mary Richardson had known the Kennedys for years, through her friendship with Robert Kennedy Jr's sister Kerry Kennedy, whom she met at boarding school. She had been Kerry Kennedy's maid of honour at her wedding in 1990.

Her trouble with drugs and alcohol came to a head in 2010, with two high-profile arrests around the time her husband filed for divorce. Mary Kennedy was first arrested on 15 May 2010 on a charge of driving while intoxicated after a police officer reported seeing her drive her car over a kerb near the family's Bedford home. Police said she had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11% - the legal limit is 0.08%. Her licence was suspended.

At the time of her sentencing, famous family and friends spoke out in support of her. Her mother-in-law, Ethel Kennedy, wrote in a letter that she "is a caring, nourishing mother who has nursed her four children through lifelong bouts of debilitating allergies", according to an account in Westchester's Journal News.

Kerry Kennedy, in her letter, said: "When I look at my three daughters, my wish for them is that they are as blessed as I have been to have a companion, a confidante, a friend, like Mary Richardson."

Mary Kennedy was charged later that year with driving under the influence of drugs, but that charge was dismissed in July 2011 when a judge said the evidence showed she didn't know the medications she had taken would impair her ability to drive.

Neighbour Leslie Lampert, who owns the nearby Cafe of Love restaurant, said Mary Kennedy was "at all times just a lovely individual".

"She was community-oriented," Lampert said. "She was always kind in our presence."

Another neighbour, Kim Fraioli, said the family was private. "I think it's a tragedy. It's very sad for their family and the surviving children. My heart goes out to the family," she said.
