New details are being revealed in regards to the canoeing accident involving Robert F. Kennedy‘s granddaughter and her 8-year-old son.
Last Thursday, Maeve and her son Gideon were reported missing after a canoeing accident in Chesapeake Bay.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Maeve’s husband David McKean said children were kicking a ball back and forth in a yard before the ball went into the water. He said his wife and son “popped into a canoe to chase it down. They just got farther out than they could handle and couldn’t get back in.”
Maryland Natural Resource Police believe the two individuals onboard the canoe “appeared to be overtaken by the strong winds.” In a powerful Facebook post, Maeve’s husband remembered his wife and son for their unforgettable qualities.
The tributes would also pour in from many family members on social media including a statement from Kathleen Kennedy Townsend.
She added, “My heart is crushed, yet we shall try to summon the grace of God and what strength we have to honor the hope, energy and passion that Maeve and Gideon set forth into the world. My family thanks all for the outpouring of love and prayers as we grieve and try to bear this devastating loss.”
