AceShowbiz - The remains of Robert F. Kennedy's great grandson have been recovered, two days after his mother's body was found in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay.
Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean and her eight-year-old boy, Gideon, went missing on April 2, 2020 during a canoeing excursion, while trying to retrieve a ball that had been kicked into the water.
McKean's body was found on Monday evening, April 6, 2020, with her cause of death listed as accidental drowning, and on Wednesday, the child's remains were discovered roughly two miles away from where they had entered the water in Shady Side.
Confirming the sad news, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan shares on Twitter, "The daughter and grandson of former Maryland Lt. Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Maeve and Gideon McKean, have now both been found. Please continue to keep their family in your prayers as they mourn this devastating loss."
