A granddaughter of Robert F Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 while running to be US president, has died.
Saoirse Kennedy Hill was 22 and is the latest in a series of untimely deaths in the family.
Her family confirmed the death last night after police responded to a call about a possible drug overdose at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
Saoirse was the daughter of Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s fifth child, Courtney, and Paul Michael Hill, who was one of four people falsely convicted of the 1974 IRA bombings of two pubs in Guildford.
“She lit up our lives with her love, her peals of laughter and her generous spirit,” the family said. Saoirse had written about her struggles with mental health and a suicide attempt while in high school.
