Mary Kennedy, seen here with her ex-husband Robert Kennedy Jr., was found dead in her Mount Kisco home on Wednesday
She and Robert Kennedy, the third-eldest of Robert Kennedy's 11 children, were married for 16 years before they divorced in May of 2010.
The mother-of-four was found dead in her Mount Kisco home Wednesday but there have yet to be formal reports about the exact cause of death.
'There was an EMT vehicle outside the home about an hour ago,' a source told Radar Online.
Just three days after her ex filed for divorce, she was arrested for suspected drunk driving.
She was arrested when police saw her drive over a curb outside of a school carnival. When she failed several sobriety tests, she was given a breathalyzer test and blew a 0.11 which is above the legal limit of 0.08.
Political leaders in Athens were due to discuss an emergency government Wednesday to deal with a possible run on banks as it emerged Greeks withdrew almost $900 million in a single day, fearing their country could crash out of the euro currency by the end of the week.
An interim government would take the country through to new elections on June 17, triggered by the collapse on Tuesday of talks to form a coalition between winners of the inconclusive May 6 election.
Greeks are withdrawing euros from banks, apparently afraid of the prospect of rapid devaluation if the country leaves the European single currency and returns to the drachma.

Britain's National Health Service estimates that drinking costs the state $4.4 billion per year once liquor-related violence and disease are included in the mix, and liver disease has risen by 25% over the last decade, according to AP.
The wire service notes that "men chasing each other and shrieking like teenagers; women stumbling and falling over in their too-short skirts and high heels" and "sidewalks ... littered with empty beer bottles and reeking puddles" are a common sight, as are government-run "booze buses" whose job it is to transport revelers to a clinic when they get falling-down drunk.
Still, drinking in general has actually decreased during the same period, leading to the conclusion that a small but dedicated cadre of mostly young people (the legal drinking age is 18) is responsible.
Predictably, the Wine and Spirit Trade Association was less than thrilled with the prime minister's proposal. The association, whose hundreds of members include Heineken, Pernod Ricard, Concha y Toro, Sainsbury, and Diageo, which makes Smirnoff, Bailey's, Johnnie Walker, and Guinness, told the Daily Mail: "We think this is going to lead ultimately to legal challenges...It would be a drinks company taking the case, or perhaps a group of drinks companies."
Project Prevention has paid a total of 4,077 people (including 65 men) to get a tubal ligation (tube-tying), an IUD, implanon (a hormonal contraceptive that is implanted), Depro-Provera (an injection that lasts three months) or (for men) a vasectomy.
Based in North Carolina, Project Prevention hangs posters in nationwide in homeless shelters, methadone clinics, AA and NA meeting rooms, and near needle exchange programs. The posters say: "Don't let a pregnancy ruin your drug habit." and "She has her daddy's eyes ... and her mommy's heroin addiction."

Congressmen don't always see eye-to-eye when it comes to many issues and earlier this week Congress took up a transportation bill that many critics believe won't go anywhere. Across America there are many roads and bridges that are in need of repair, so why can't Congress come to terms with improving America's infrastructure? Wilmer J. Leon, political science professor at Howard University, helps us answer some of these questions.
As the elite of the nation's psychiatric establishment work in the shadows to fully revise the highly controversial handbook labeling various behaviors and emotional states as "illnesses," experts across the board are crying foul. A handful of new potential mental disorders and the revised definitions for others have caused a particularly fierce uproar among some psychiatrists and mental health professionals. At least 25,000 comments have already been submitted about the proposals.
Comment: Despite the fear mongering promoted by the "experts" above, if Greece leaves the eurozone, though they will face difficulties initially, the possibility exists that the country and its people would reclaim their sovereignty eventually. The change in currency has nothing to do with the creation of totalitarian regimes, as a look at current international politics proves.
