Mary Kennedy, who battled drug use and alocoholism found dead in NYC home at 52

I bet her death has something to do with her alcoholism.

Washington Post reports Robert F. Kennedy Jr.�s estranged wife, Mary Kennedy, who had fought drug and alcohol problems, was found dead in her home Wednesday.

Attorney Kerry Lawrence, who had represented her in a drunken-driving case, said he didn�t know the cause of her death at age 52. Police confirmed a body was found on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.�s property in Bedford, north of New York City, but wouldn�t release the dead person�s name.

The former Mary Richardson married Robert Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental lawyer and the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, in 1994. The couple had four children, the youngest born in July 2001.


Her family cited her devotion to her children in remembering her.
