Mary Richardson Kennedy, 52, was found dead of an apparent suicide Wednesday at the family's estate in Bedford. Her death followed a difficult two years, during which her husband filed for divorce and she was charged twice with driving while intoxicated. The divorce was never finalized.
According to the Westchester County Medical Examiner's Office, the cause of death was asphyxiation due to hanging.
