The body of the cousin of the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was found in the United States - she drowned in the Chesapeake Bay when she sailed with her son in a canoe in search of the ball a few days ago. The body of an eight-year-old Gideon has not yet been discovered. The death of Maeve Kennedy continues a series of sad events in the Kennedy family and again forces the media to talk about a family curse - only her cousin Saersha died last year, writes "Gazeta.ru".

Divers found the body of Chesapeake Bay Maeve Kennedy, 40-year-old granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, brother of the 35th President of the United States. This was reported by CBS Baltimore. The body was discovered at a depth of 8 meters, 4 km from the Kennedy family home, located on the bay.

According to Maeve’s husband, David McKean, on Friday it became clear that his wife and son had died tragically. At that time, 24 hours had passed since they disappeared. He told The Washington Post that his family spent time in isolation in the home of Maeve's mother, a former member of the Maryland government on the bay. On Thursday afternoon, he and his children played a ball on the street, when he suddenly rolled into the water. Then Maeve and her son boarded a canoe and sailed after him, but the current and the wind carried them away towards the bay, where they drowned.

According to Maryland authorities, a matching canoe description was found upside down in the bay. Head of State Larry Hogan held a press conference Friday to report the disappearance of Maeve and Gideon.

Helicopter and boat rescuers continue to search for Gideon's body.

A Coast Guard spokesman said he saw Maeve and her son “fighting the current to get back to shore” before disappearing from sight. On Thursday it was very windy, gust speeds reached 60-70 km per hour. On Saturday, April 4, after a 26-hour search, the police decided to declare Maeve and her son dead.

Maeve's relatives arranged a video conference to support each other and pray for the dead. Uncle Maeve, Robert Kennedy Jr., posted on Instagram a photo of a tree near her house, where neighbors posted postcards expressing condolences. Two days before her death, she sent him and other relatives a life-affirming poem by Laura Kelly Fanucci, inspired by quarantine, that after its cancellation, we will probably appreciate more ordinary life - talking with a neighbor, coffee with friends, a crowded theater and shaking hands with a stranger.

Maeve Kennedy was 40 years old. She left a son and a daughter.

She served as executive director at Georgetown University and was responsible for the global health program. In addition, Maeve Kennedy led the Capitol Hill School Cluster Parent-Teacher Association. She served in the peacekeeping forces in Mozambique, worked in the state AIDS program, and defended human rights in the Department of Health. Last month, she, among other doctors, signed an appeal to the vice president calling for stronger measures to prevent coronavirus.

“My heart is breaking,” Maeve's mother said. “We will try to call on the grace of God and the strength that we have to honor the hope, energy and passion that Maeve and Gideon brought to this world.”

The deceased son Maeve Gideon, according to his grandmother, like his mother, was an outstanding athlete, was involved in football, golf and athletics. He also loved puzzles, chess, math, and adventure.

Last summer, another tragedy happened in the Kennedy family: a 22-year-old Maeve cousin, Sirsha Kennedy, died from an alleged drug overdose. Over the past eighty years, more than two dozen people lost their lives in the family of the former president of the United States under strange circumstances, including John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, and Michael Kennedy - he crashed in 1997 while skiing. Superstitious Americans even talk about a family curse.
