A death investigation is underway at the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, where police and fire officials responded Thursday afternoon to a medical emergency, authorities said.

 

In a statement, a spokeswoman for the Cape & Islands district attorney’s office said Barnstable police responded to a home on Marchant Avenue in Hyannis Port “for a reported unattended death.”

 

The matter is being investigated by Barnstable police and Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the district attorney’s office, according to the statement issued Thursday night.

 

The New York Times reported Thursday night that the victim was a young woman who overdosed at the home of Ethel Kennedy, the 91-year-old widow of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

 

A call for assistance at 28 Marchant Ave. came in at 2:31 p.m., said Hyannis Fire Lieutenant David Webb.

 

An individual was transported to Cape Cod Hospital, he said.

 

Webb said he could provide no further information.

 

Barnstable police and Massachusetts State Police deferred comment to the district attorney’s office.

 

The Kennedy compound on Nantucket Sound, which once served as the summer White House of President John F. Kennedy, contains several residential properties now owned by extended family members.
