UPDATE: Bodies Of Robert F. Kennedy’s Granddaughter And Her 8-Year Old Son Found

The bodies of Robert F. Kennedy‘s Granddaughter and her 8-year old son has been found by divers.

Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean body had been found two days earlier, on Monday. And young Gideon McKean‘s body was found about 2,000 feet away from where his mother was discovered on Wednesday.

The mother and son went missing 6 days ago into the choppy waters of the Chesapeake Bay in a deadly canoe accident.

The state’s chief medical examiner said separately on Wednesday that McKean had accidentally drowned.

Her body was discovered two and a half miles from her mom’s waterfront property in Shady Side, Maryland, where she and Gideon had launched their canoe in order to retrieve a stray ball during a game of kickball on Thursday, according to McKean’s husband.

But high winds carried the mother-son duo out into open water of the larger bay where they were also beset by high waves.

“Gideon and Maeve were playing kickball by the small, shallow cove behind the house, and one of them kicked the ball into the water,” David McKean wrote in a Facebook post Friday.

“The cove is protected, with much calmer wind and water than in the greater Chesapeake,” David wrote. “They got into a canoe, intending simply to retrieve the ball, and somehow got pushed by wind or tide into the open bay.”

About 30 minutes after first setting out, they were spotted from shore by an onlooker who called 911. But McKean and Gideon soon vanished from sight and were not seen alive again after first responders arrived on scene.

Sending condolences to the Kennedy and McKean family.
