Autopsy Due After Robert Kennedy Jr’s Estranged Wife Found Dead
17th May 2012
Mary Kennedy, 52, who had four children with the son of assassinated Democratic candidate and former attorney general Robert Kennedy, was reported to have hanged herself in a barn at her home in the wealthy Westchester County. No cause of death has been released officially.
The couple was married for 16 years before divorcing in May 2010.
Mr Kennedy, 58, a lawyer, radio host and environmental activist who is the third of RFK’s 11 children and whose uncle was President John F Kennedy, is currently dating actress Cheryl Hines. She is best known for playing Larry David’s wife on the television show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
He divorced his first wife, Emily, the mother of his oldest two children, in 1994, shortly before marrying Mary, whose maiden name was Richardson. She gave birth to their first child, Conor, three months later. They went on to have three more children together, Kyra, William and Aiden, whose ages range from 10 to 16.
I will never understand a woman who thinks that if a guy will divorce his wife to marry her, somehow he won’t think of doing the same thing to her if a newer model wanders by.

My current wife is her ex-‘s 2nd of 4:
He married #1.
When their son was about 2, he divorced #1; he was single for a few years, then married my wife (#2).
When their oldest was about 1, he started seeing #3; when the boy was 2, he divorced #2 and married #3.
When their son about 1, he started seeing #4; when the boy was 2, he divorced #3 and married #4.
When their daughter was born, we started a pool to how close (without going over) we could guess the approximate time of cheating and divorce while moving on to #5.
To our surprise, it didn’t happen. He’s still married to #4, either because he wanted a girl all along (he has 4 sons by ex’s) or he just can’t afford any more child support.
Some people just lead very untidy lives.

That could explain the left’s support of gay marriage. Could be they’re running out of opposites to marry. Besides, after 4 or 5 marriages, does it really matter who you’re sleeping with anymore?
I could totally envision Dennis as a Kennedy.

Tim, yours is a good question. I have another: Why would any woman marry a Kennedy? And another: Hanged herself? That’s not usually how women commit suicide.
