Kyle Kennedy, Granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, Dies at 42 in Massachusetts

Kyle Kennedy, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy, died at age 42 on September 21 at her home in Westwood, Massachusetts, according to an online obituary. She was described as an educator, a Georgetown University graduate and Teach for America alumna who championed education reform, and as an advocate for people with disabilities. Accounts differ on the cause: one report says she died after a severe spinal cord injury, while others say the cause and manner of death have not been made public. Her grandfather served as U.S. Attorney General.

TMZ, the alternative source, leads with the death, the Westwood location and the obituary, and stresses that the cause and manner have not been revealed. NBC News, on the left, calls her an educator and is the one to cite a severe spinal cord injury, saying she died last month. On the right, Fox News highlights her education credentials and years of health struggles, while the Daily Wire stresses her disability advocacy, the undisclosed cause and her grandfather's career. All sides agree on her age and family link.
