Premature deaths and calamities for Kennedy family
The Kennedy curse is a series of deaths, accidents, assassinations, and other calamities involving members of the American Kennedy family.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The alleged curse has primarily struck the descendants of businessman Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., but it has also affected family friends, associates, and other relatives. Political assassinations and plane crashes have been the most common manifestations of the "curse". Following the Chappaquiddick incident in 1969, Ted Kennedy is quoted saying he questioned if "some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys."[9] However skeptics argue that it is not improbable for a large extended family to experience similar events over the course of several generations.[10][11]
