Washington, April 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) The body of former US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's great-grandson Gideon McKean has been recovered in an estuary after he went missing with his mother in a canoe last week, media reported.
The eight-year-old boy's body was found pn Wednesday about 610 meters from where his mother Maeve Kennedy McKean, a granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, was recovered on Monday in the Chesapeake Bay between Maryland and Virginia, Xinhua news agency quoted The New York Times as saying in a report.
The two lost contact on April 2 after they had got into the canoe to retrieve a ball thrown into the cove and ended up the open bay, according to a Facebook post by Gideon's father David McKean.
Their deaths added to the series of Kennedy family tragedies.
