Mary Kennedy, the estranged wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., died of asphyxiation due to hanging, the Westchester County, New York, medical examiner said Thursday.
The Bedford Police Department declined to say more because it is still investigating what led to the hanging. Her death is the latest for a family that has seen its share of tragedy.
“We know from a history of this family, it’s very hard being a Kennedy, either being a blood Kennedy or being married to one,” Laurence Leamer, a Kennedy biographer, said on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.” “The overwhelming celebrity, the attention, the obligations, the expectations that you’re supposed to do something with your life. It’s very, very hard.”
In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. was assassinated in California while making a run for the White House. His death came more than four years after his brother, President John F. Kennedy, also died at the hands of an assassin.
More than three decades later in 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, died when a plane he was piloting crashed in the waters off Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. David Kennedy died of a drug overdose and Michael Kennedy was killed in a skiing accident.
Bedford police confirmed Wednesday that they were investigating a possible unattended death at an address owned by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“A change in leadership brings uncertainty because you don’t know exactly what you’re getting into,” said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer’s Investment Research.
“It won’t be a be-all end-all sell signal, but new leadership in France could cause investor jitters that reverberate throughout global financial markets,” said Detrick.
Hollande campaigned on the need to focus more on economic growth to reduce public debt, as opposed to austerity, which has been the main policy prescription for the three year-old European debt crisis.
While it remains to be seen to what extent Hollande will push his growth agenda, his countering approach causes concerns about how he might work with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the key proponent of austerity.
Even so, many economists and market strategists say Hollande is likely to pursue policies that maintain fiscal discipline and will also make efforts to keep good relations with Germany.
While there could be some “initial friction with Merkel,” Hollande will eventually form his own bond with the German leader, said Antonio Barroso, an analyst at political research firm Eurasia Group.
“Hollande is very pragmatic.” said Barroso. “He knows that Germany is his most important partner. They will have to agree on a solution for the crisis.”

The Prime Minister said he believed the Leveson Inquiry, rather than a separate probe, is the right way to investigate the Government’s exchanges with News Corp as it is ‘far tougher than anything the civil service could arrange’.
Mr Cameron admitted discussing matters with Mr Murdoch’s son and top News Corp executive James Murdoch at a Christmas party at the Oxfordshire home of then News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks.
Asked whether he was embarrassed that he was even at the party, Mr Cameron said: ‘Clearly, after all that’s been written and said about it, yes of course one might do things differently.

Under scrutiny: Jeremy Hunt faces damaging allegations that he supported News Corp’s bid when he was supposed to be impartial.Mr Cameron said he did not recall the exact details of his conversation with Mr Murdoch but that it concerned the recent controversy over Business Secretary Vince Cable’s comments that he had ‘declared war’ on News Corporation.
‘What I recall saying, although I can’t remember every detail of the conversation, is saying something like: clearly that was unacceptable, it was embarrassing for the Government, and to be clear from now on this whole issue would be dealt with impartially, properly, in the correct way, but obviously I had nothing to do with it, I recused myself from it,’ he said.
Mr Cameron admitted that he courted Murdoch newspapers in opposition, but said it was ‘no great mystery’ as he had tried to win over many media outlets.
‘The thing that people are asking is was there some big deal, some big agreement between me and Rupert Murdoch or James Murdoch that in return for support for the Conservative Party I would somehow help their business interests or allow this merger to go through,’ he said.
‘That is not true. Rupert Murdoch said it under oath at the Leveson Inquiry, James Murdoch said it under oath, I will say it under oath.
‘I did want the support of as many newspapers and television commentators for the Conservative Party because I wanted to take the country in a different direction.
‘When it comes to the Murdoch newspapers, I was trying to convince a set of newspapers with largely centre-right, conservative views anyway, that they would be better off with the Conservative Party running the country.
‘There is no great mystery here – that is what I was trying to do.’
Mr Cameron said it would be ‘wrong’ to sack Mr Hunt because his special adviser Adam Smith – who quit on Wednesday as the row grew – had been ‘too close’ to the Murdoch empire and ‘acted inappropriately’.
The marijuana found south of Los Angeles was packed in around 160 bales and had an estimated street value of $3.6 million, border patrol agents told CBS Los Angeles.
“Shortly before noon on Sunday, May 20, maritime law enforcement authorities received a tip about suspicious bales floating in the water off the coast of Orange County, near Dana Point,” border patrol agent supervisor Michael Jimenez said in a statement.
The haul reportedly totaled 7,263 pounds.
Three Harbor Patrol ships and a Coast Guard cutter were sent to recover the marijuana from the water.
“At other events, they’ve dumped the bales to get rid of weight if they’re being chased,” he said. “Generally in these cases we’re aware they’re being dumped. What’s more unusual is that the bales were floating with no boat in sight.”
No suspects or vessel have been identified in connection to an ongoing investigation, the Register reported.
The incident was out of the ordinary, Jimenez told the Register.
