The Kennedy clan seems cursed with tragic deaths but many seem to be related to reckless if not fool hardy behavior. JFK Jr... inexperienced flying in bad weather. In this case attempting to retrieve a soccer ball in a canoe in the choppy waters of Chesapeake bay apparently without wearing life jackets.
I am a kayaker with many decades of experience.
What kind of a moron goes on to a huge body of water without PFD? And who lets an 8 year old near any water without PFD?
None of this makes any sense.
