It has been stated that Mary was found hanging. I will be interested to hear the details as they emerge.
I cant help but be curious and slightly suspicious based on the decades long disregard , arrogance, or abuse of women by the kennedys.
Starting with the Grandfather Joe who ordered his daughter Rosemary to have a lobotomy so that she would be more compliant with what he wanted. It was completely botch job and she had to be institutionalized for the rest of her life and publicly ignored.
Then the next generation of Kennedys spawned Ted who killed Mary Jo Kopechne, walked off as if nothing had happened and tried to blame her death on herself or the fact he blacked out. BS story. The truth is he was drinking and driving, had eluded the cops, caused the accident and refused to get help even though Mary Jo could have been saved. She survived after the wreck in the submerged car in a pocket of air. He body was found in the exact position that she had died in, with her head and body straining to get the last bit of air.
Then there is Bobby and John with Marilyn Monroe. It was staged to look like a suicide but how could she die of a pill overdose from the medication in her bloodstream when she had ingested no pills. No pills or meds were found in her stoma ck. Bobby and John were done with her and she was a liability and in their way so they (and their domineering father) had many reasons to want her permanently silenced.
Apparently the day before Marilyn was found dead she threatened to hold a press conference and tell the story about her romances with both John and brother Bobby. John's affair with Marilyn reportedly started in 1953, a mere five months after he
married Jacqueline Bouvier.
John Jr may not have intended to kill his wife and her sister but his arrogance in flying when he was not qualified to was the reason they died. His negligence and disregard for the rules and laws of aviation led to their deaths.
Then other in the family show just as much disregard for women. Patric kennedy kicked a nurse in her stomach and hit her so hard she flew backwards when she was trying to keep him from leaving the ward with his newborn. It was against policy for security reasons but as a kennedy, he felt those reasons and laws didn't apply to him. He clearly assaulted the nurse and there is no excuse.
David Kennedy was driving recklessy, showing off and caused a young female passenger (his girlfriend Pam) to be injured so badly that she was paralyzed for life. He was charged and paid a $100 fine. He was clearly at fault and the Kennedys felt that giving her 50,000 (thru the years, not all at once) should compensate her for the loss of her legs and confinement to a wheelchair. Then Joe fianlly said he was tired of her trying to sponge money off of the family as told he was " broke and wouldn't be her financial crutch anymore". Nice choice of words there.. he won't be a "crutch" to a girl his son paralyzed for life??? She did get money from the kennedy's insurance policy but 600,000 doesn't go far for a paralyzed teen facing many decades of disability.
Then there was William Kennedy Smith and the rape allegations, there have been other accusations as well for attempted rape and sexual harrassment.
Oh there are more stories of similar things and tragedies but I think this is enough to show the family is definitely worthy of a second look when it comes to unattended deaths and accidents.
