Munselle-Rhodes Funeral Home in Milton-Freewater is in charge of arrangements. RFK’s granddaughter dies By WILLIAM J. KOLE Associated Press BOSTON — Authorities said Friday they are look- ing to toxicology reports for clues to the death of Saoirse Kennedy Hill, the 22-year-old granddaugh- ter of assassinated presi- dential candidate Robert F. Kennedy. The Kennedy fam- ily confirmed the death in a statement after police responded to a call Thurs- day afternoon about a pos- sible drug overdose at the storied Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massa- chusetts. The statement was issued by Brian Wright O’Connor, a spokesman for Saoirse Hill’s uncle, for- mer congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II. Hill was the daughter of Robert and Ethel Ken- nedy’s fifth child, Court- ney, and Paul Michael Hill, who was one of four people falsely convicted in the 1974 Irish Repub- lican Army bombings of two pubs. The two are now divorced. “She lit up our lives with her love, her peals of laugh- ter and her generous spirit,” the statement said, adding she was passionate about human rights and women’s empowerment and worked with indigenous commu- nities to build schools in Mexico. Hill, whose first name is pronounced SIR-shuh, attended Boston College, where she was a member of the class of 2020. The col- lege issued a statement Fri- day saying she was a com- munications major and “a gifted student.” “She was also active in the College Democrats, and had many friends on the BC campus,” spokesman Jack Dunn said. The Cape & Islands district attorney’s office said Barnstable police responded to a home “for a reported unattended death.” Barnstable police and Massachusetts State Police detectives were investigating. The district attorney’s office said Fri- day that Hill was taken to Cape Cod Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. It said an autopsy showed no signs of trauma, and that toxicology reports would help determine the cause and manner of death. The family statement did not include a cause of death, but audio of a Barn- stable police scanner call obtained by The Associ- ated Press said officers were responding to a report of a drug overdose at the compound. “The world is a little less beautiful today,” the Kennedy family statement quoted Hill’s 91-year-old grandmother and RFK’s widow, Ethel Kennedy, as saying. Hill had written frankly and publicly about her struggles with mental health and a suicide attempt while in high school. “My depression took root in the beginning of my middle school years and will be with me for the rest of my life,” she wrote in a Feb- ruary 2016 column in The Deerfield Scroll, the stu- dent newspaper at Deer- field Academy, the elite private school in Massa- chusetts she attended. Hill wrote that she became depressed two weeks before her high school junior year started and she “totally lost it after someone I knew and loved broke serious sexual boundaries with me.” She wrote that she pretended it hadn’t happened, and when it became too much, “I attempted to take my own life.” She urged the school to be more open about mental illness. Hill also helped found a group at the school called Deerfield Students Against Sexual Assault, accord- ing to a November 2016 story in the paper, and she attended a March for Our Lives gun violence pre- vention rally in Barnstable in March 2018, The Barn- stable Patriot newspaper reported at the time. Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1968 after win- ning California’s Demo- cratic presidential primary. He had served as attorney general in the administra- tion of his brother, Presi- dent John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in Dallas in 1963. He also served as a U.S. senator from New York. RFK’s family, like the rest of the Kennedy clan, has been touched by tragedy. One of his and Ethel Kennedy’s 11 children, Michael Kennedy, was killed in a skiing accident in Colorado on New Year’s Eve 1997 at age 39. And in 1984, another son, David Anthony Kennedy, died of a drug overdose in Florida at age 28. JFK’s son, John F. Ken- nedy Jr., was killed with his wife and sister-in-law when his small plane crashed off Martha’s Vineyard, Massa- chusetts, in July 1999. One of Hill’s relatives, former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, who is now an advocate for substance abuse and mental health treatment, tweeted in trib- ute to her Friday. “Saoirse will always remain in our hearts. She is loved and will be deeply missed,” he wrote. Funeral plans were incomplete Friday. COMING EVENTS SUNDAY, AUG. 4 SPECIAL NEEDS OPEN GYM, 12:30-1 p.m., Pendleton Recreation Center, 510 S.W.
