I suggest we all send a little note to good, ol Ted!
AAWWWW, please don't get me started on this murderer!
Acute Alcoholic Poisoning is far too easy a way out for this human excrement. I wish him a very slow one!
Total bull.
I've always thought she was pregnant (for a Kennedy) and thus she became a liability.
What makes you think that?
Kennedy's actions after the "accident" and society influences and pressures at that time. It seems he was more relaxed and at ease "after" the accident. And one should remember just how the family's wealth was "earned" (deals with the Mafia). It wouldn't be the first time a male from the Kennedy clan killed a female where sex was involved. Moreover, the family decided to "silence" Rosemary Kennedy's life via a lobotomy. Sometimes desperate people (and families) do desperate things.
I attempted to open the door and window of the car but have no recollection of how I got out of the car. I came to the surface and then repeatedly dove down to the car in an attempt to see if the passenger was still in the car. I was unsuccessful in the attempt."....Sure Ted and snowbirds fly in hell...
Not too wise.
As I have read, it was a failed operation, not an attempt to silence the daughter.
The Kennedys have done a lot of shameful things over the decades, but you're way off base on that.
You may be more correct on your not so veiled words about Marilyn M.

"I was unfamiliar with the road
but he knew the name of every street...
Like Jack's "assassination", no one will ever know the truth.
To name just one of the one's we know. The tragedies of the family kinda makes one believe in some sort of Karma influence amongst humanity.
I was told by a limo driver that he personally delivered a million dollars in cash to Mary Jo's parents. Don't know if it was the truth but it explains a lot.
Mary Jo died for her country. In doing so, she saved us from any possibility that Admiral Oldsmobile would ever be president.
There have been a few famous cases over the years. For example, Rosemary Kennedy, sister to John, Robert, and Edward Kennedy, was given a lobotomy when her father complained about the mildly retarded girl’s embarrassing new interest in boys.The sad conclusion around these here parts (and I have had several family members directly involved in the poor woman's care at St. Coletta's over the years) is that Joe couldn't have a sexually precocious DAUGHTER.
Her father never informed the rest of the family about what he had done. She lived out her life in a Wisconsin institution and died January 7, 2005, at the age of 86. Her sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founded the Special Olympics in her honor in 1968.

But as she got older, her father worried that his daughter’s mild condition would lead her into situations that could damage the family’s reputation.
“Rosemary was a woman, and there was a dread fear of pregnancy, disease and disgrace,” author Laurence Leamer wrote in an unauthorized Kennedy biography called “The Kennedy Women: The Saga of an American Family.” He wrote that Rosemary had taken to sneaking out of the convent where she was staying at the time.
Doctors told Joseph Kennedy that a lobotomy, a medical procedure in which the frontal lobes of a patient’s brain are scraped away, would help his daughter and calm her mood swings that the family found difficult to handle at home.

I was rather young at the time but, didn't kennedy get a quick burial and no autopsy...
