An investigation concluded that Saoirse Kennedy Hill, the granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, died from “acute methadone and ethanol toxicity in combination with other prescription medications.”
Yahoo Entertainment confirmed with Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts on Friday that the investigation into the 22-year-old’s death concluded that she died from “acute methadone and ethanol toxicity in combination with other prescription medications.
Kennedy Hill, the only child of RFK’s daughter Courtney Kennedy Hill and her ex-husband Paul Michael Hill, was found dead in her grandmother Ethel’s home on the famed Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Mass., on Aug. 1. Kennedy Hill’s uncle, activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., shared his eulogy of the college student publicly after her memorial. It talked about how she suffered from depression — which she detailed in a 2016 op-ed for her high school student newspaper titled “Mental Illness at Deerfield” — and a time when he visited her in rehab for an undisclosed treatment.
“She came home at 2 a.m. and sang and danced with Sinead in the cottage,” he wrote. “They toured Hyannis Port in Grandma Ethel’s golf cart and swam at dawn before watching the sunrise from the beach. She went to bed looking forward to her trip to Los Angeles that day.”
