Kennedy, died of a drug overdose in a Palm Beach, Florida hotel. Michael Kennedy, another son of Robert, died in a skiing accident in Colorado in 1997. John F. Kennedy Jr., son of John F. Kennedy, also died in a plane crash in 1999, along with his wife and sister-in-law.

Whether it is a result of coincidence, bad luck, or some other inexplicable force, the Kennedy curse continues to capture the public's fascination and fuel speculation about the family's seemingly perpetual misfortune..
