Mary Richardson Kennedy nearly missed her own wake Friday after a legal battle erupted over her body.
On one side was her estranged husband, Bobby Kennedy Jr., who was in the midst of divorcing her when she hanged herself in a barn. He claimed the right to decide where she would rest in peace.
On the other side were Mary’s brothers and sisters, who didn’t want her to be buried beside members of the Kennedy clan in Hyannisport — and filed suit to stop that from happening.
An eleventh-hour court order from a Westchester County judge enabled Bobby to retrieve her body from the medical examiner, where it had been since she committed suicide on Wednesday.
This is one sad family.
