The world has dimmed in the wake of the sudden death Thursday of one of Robert F. Kennedy‘s granddaughters, her family said.
“Our hearts are shattered by the loss of our beloved Saoirse,” the Kennedys said in a statement late Thursday following reports of a overdose at their storied Massachusetts compound.
Saoirse Kennedy Hill, whose parents are Courtney Kennedy Hill and Paul Hill, was subsequently taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead of a suspected overdose
“The world is a little less beautiful today,” said family matriarch Ethel Kennedy, 91.
A rising senior at Boston College where she was studying communications, according to the Globe and Times, Saoirse was also vice president of her school’s College Democrats.
“In classes she was often the first student to offer an opinion on readings that demanded clear critique about the challenges of contemporary society,” one of her college professors, Marcus Breen, told the Times.
Saoirse will always remain in our hearts. She is loved and will be deeply missed
