Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ex-wife Mary Richardson Kennedy was reportedly found dead in her Mount Kisco, New York home this morning after an apparent suicide.

They shared 4 children together: Conor Richardson (b. 1994), Kyra LeMoyne (b. 1995), William Finbar (b. 1997), and Aiden Caohman Vieques (b. 2001).
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed for divorce on May 12, 2010, which took a huge toll on Mary, as evidenced by the fact she was arrested for drunk driving three days later.
Mary Kennedy (mug shot above) failed several sobriety tests before registering a 0.11 BAL with a brethalyzer after police stopped her for driving over a curb near a school carnival. She can be seen in the photo on the right leaving court after her appearance for the arrest.
Mary Kennedy was an architectural designer in Manhattan.
