THE CAUSE OF SAOIRSE’S DEATH REMAINS UNCONFIRMED

Saoirse was the daughter of Robert and Ethel Kennedy’s fifth child, Courtney, and Paul Michael Hill. AP News reports that Saoirse attended Boston College, where she was a member of the class of 2020.

The Kennedy family first confirmed her untimely death in a public statement after authorities were alerted about a possible drug overdose on Thursday.

However, the statement, issued by a spokesman for Saoirse Hill’s uncle, former congressman Joseph P. Kennedy II, did not include information about Saoirse’s cause of death.

The Associated Press, however, shares that audio of a Barnstable police scanner call had it that the officers were responding to a report of a drug overdose at the family’s estate.

No matter the cause of Saoirse’s death, it is still a heart-rending one because of how promising and youthful she was. May her soul rest in peace.
