The couple had been married for 16 years and had four children together. They filed for divorce in May of 2010. RFK Jr. is the son of the slain attorney general RFK Sr. and nephew of John F. Kennedy.
The couple has a home on Bedford Road in Mour Kisco, according to property records.
In a statement released through a lawyer, Mary’s family said the following:
“We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her. Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation. We have no further comment at this time.”
Asked if there was an incident involving the Kennedys, Bedford police declined immediate comment, but said they’d make a statement early this evening.
Police were called to a home on 326 South Bedford Road at 1:36 p.m. to investigate a “possible unattended death.”
Mary’s body was found “inside an out building on the property,” according to press release issued by the Bedford police.
